 **Recommendation:** Use **only as a reference directory**, never as a standalone tool for clinical decision-making or academic rigor. It is epistemically shallow, operationally limited, and **incompatible with serious scientific scrutiny**.
+====== Better Alternatives to TripDatabase ======
+=== 🥇 Epistemonikos (https://www.epistemonikos.org) ===
+  * ✅ Curated repository of **systematic reviews** and their linked primary studies
+  * ✅ Human-verified classification of evidence
+  * ✅ Visual maps linking systematic reviews to included trials
+  * ✅ Designed to support guideline development and evidence-based practice
+  * ➕ **Why it’s better than TripDatabase**: Goes beyond format tags and offers **evidence mapping** with methodological transparency
+=== 🧠 Cochrane Library (https://www.cochranelibrary.com) ===
+  * ✅ Gold standard in systematic reviews and meta-analyses
+  * ✅ Uses **GRADE**, **PRISMA**, and **risk of bias** tools
+  * ✅ Provides full evidence tables, forest plots, and outcome summaries
+  * ➕ **Why it’s better than TripDatabase**: Delivers **deep, peer-reviewed, protocol-driven synthesis**, not just links to reviews
+=== 🤖 Elicit (https://elicit.org) ===
+  * ✅ AI-based tool that extracts **PICO elements**, sample sizes, outcomes, and populations
+  * ✅ Helps answer structured research questions and compare studies
+  * ✅ Provides grids and structured outputs instead of raw citation lists
+  * ➕ **Why it’s better than TripDatabase**: It **interprets and analyzes** evidence, not just indexes it
+=== 🧪 Clinical Trial Platforms ===
+  * **https://clinicaltrials.gov** and **https://www.who.int/clinical-trials-registry-platform**
+  * ✅ Include ongoing and unpublished studies, reducing publication bias
+  * ✅ Allow protocol inspection and comparison of study design
+  * ➕ **Why they’re better**: Offer real-time insight into the **research pipeline**, beyond published summaries
+=== 📊 Comparative Table ===
+^ Platform            ^ Key Strengths                                       ^ Why It’s Better Than TripDatabase                          ^
+| Epistemonikos       | Systematic review linkage, curated content          | Evidence mapping, not just filtered document types         |
+| Cochrane Library    | Gold-standard reviews with GRADE and RoB tools      | Deep synthesis with formal methodology                     |
+| Elicit              | AI-powered reasoning and study comparison           | Interprets study content, not just titles or tags          |
+| ClinicalTrials.gov  | Ongoing trial registry + protocol access            | Reveals unpublished data and research in progress          |
+=== 🧠 Final Recommendation ===
+  * Use **[[Epistemonikos]]** and **Cochrane Library** for structured, high-quality evidence synthesis.
+  * Use **Elicit** when exploring research questions or comparing intervention effects using AI.
+  * Use **Trial registries** to track ongoing evidence and avoid reliance on published bias.
+  * Treat **TripDatabase** as a simple starting index—not as an evidence appraisal tool.
