Publications & Evidence
A transparent framework for distinguishing research questions, published evidence and clinical recommendations.
Our standard
Traceable evidence, proportionate claims
Scientific communication should allow readers to identify what was studied, how it was studied and whether the findings support the conclusion. We distinguish a registered or described research programme from a peer-reviewed publication, and both from a recommendation for routine clinical care.This page does not attribute outcomes, publications or treatment benefits to Global Medicare unless a verifiable source is available. Study pages describe their scope and status; results will only be added when they can be cited accurately and interpreted in context.
How we read evidence
Three checks before a clinical claim
01
Study design
Randomisation, an appropriate comparison group, prespecified outcomes and adequate follow-up affect how confidently an observed difference can be interpreted.02
Patient-relevant outcomes
Surrogate or laboratory findings may be informative, but they are not interchangeable with pregnancy, live birth, safety or longer-term health outcomes.03
Independent confirmation
A result becomes more dependable when it is reproduced, peer reviewed and considered alongside the totality of evidence—not selected in isolation.Publication policy
What will appear here
Global Medicare-specific publications will be listed only with bibliographic information that readers can verify, such as authors, title, journal, year and DOI or registry identifier. Absence of a listed publication must not be interpreted as evidence of effectiveness.
- Research protocols and study descriptions are labelled separately from results.
- Preprints, conference abstracts and peer-reviewed articles are identified by publication type.
- Uncertainty, limitations, conflicts of interest and material safety information should accompany interpretation.
Current research pages
Programmes described without undocumented outcomes
The current research pages outline ovarian and endometrial study pathways. They are not a substitute for a results publication and do not establish clinical benefit.Reference standards
Current independent guidance

- ESHRE Good Practice Recommendations on recurrent implantation failureIllustrates proportionate recommendations where evidence is incomplete.
- ESHRE Good Practice Recommendations on add-ons in reproductive medicine (2023)Emphasises evidence, safety, transparency and appropriate research for reproductive add-ons.
