+====== PubMed vs. Alternatives: Critical Comparison ======
+=== 🥇 Best Overall Alternative: Semantic Scholar ===
+  * Website: https://www.semanticscholar.org
+  * ✅ **Why it’s superior:**
+    * AI-powered article summaries (methods, results, key insights)
+    * Flags highly influential papers and retractions
+    * Links to full text, code, and datasets when available
+    * Filters by study type: RCTs, meta-analyses, etc.
+    * Visual citation networks and concept graphs
+  * ⚠️ **Limitations:**
+    * Not fully exhaustive for older or obscure biomedical content
+    * Not designed for Cochrane-level systematic reviews
+=== 🧠 Best for Systematic Reviews: Epistemonikos ===
+  * Website: https://www.epistemonikos.org
+  * Focused on systematic reviews and meta-analyses
+  * Curated by experts with structured PICO question linking
+  * Visual connection between primary studies and syntheses
+=== 🔍 Best for Grey Literature: Google Scholar ===
+  * Website: https://scholar.google.com
+  * Includes theses, conference papers, and preprints
+  * Useful for hard-to-find or non-indexed documents
+  * ⚠️ Lacks structured filters, retraction notices, and metadata control

+=== 🔧 Additional Tools for Evidence-Based Practice ===
+  * https://www.tripdatabase.com – Clinical guidelines and evidence summaries
+  * https://clinicaltrials.gov – Authoritative clinical trial registry
+  * https://elicit.org – LLM-based assistant for study synthesis and Q&A
+=== 🧠 Final Recommendation ===
+  * Use **Semantic Scholar** as your primary literature engine for AI-enhanced exploration and citation intelligence.
+  * Combine with **Epistemonikos** and **TripDatabase** when systematic rigor and clinical synthesis are needed.
+  * Treat **PubMed** as a bibliographic directory—**not** as a filter for scientific reliability.
