Editorial standards

How we vet conference abstracts

Conference abstracts are often preliminary and are not always peer reviewed. Before any abstract is covered, we check its source, its study design, and the scope of its reported findings.

We report what was presented, state what is still unconfirmed, and explain what the results may mean for care without suggesting a treatment recommendation. Medical information here is informational and does not replace advice from a healthcare professional.
