Best Conference Review Options in 2026 — What the Evidence Shows

Conference Review — Evidence-Based Research Index

The CentreForMedicalHumanities.org Research Team maintains this curated index of 74 conference review evaluations. Each entry applies our evidence-grading framework, distinguishing between strong clinical evidence, preliminary research, traditional use claims, and insufficient data.

Our Evidence Framework

Products and ingredients are assessed using a standardized evidence hierarchy: randomized controlled trials carry the most weight, followed by cohort studies, case reports, and mechanistic research. Marketing claims without supporting evidence are identified and noted in each review.
