All sources, graded

High-dose omega-3 (EPA) lowers cardiovascular risk in high-risk patients.

Transparent rubric — every item shows its grade and computed weight. RCT > cohort > case > preclinical > opinion; predatory sources are knocked down 90%.

?
Weight = grade weight × log₁₀(sample size + 10). So a stronger study grade dominates, a bigger trial counts for a bit more, and predatory sources are cut to 10%. It is the exact number the score is built from — nothing hidden.
