How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of phage therapy for Staphylococcus aureus infections by examining the results of clinical trials as part of the antibiotic resistance improvement. Data from 19 studies that used phages as monotherapy or in combination with antibiotics were included. The data was collected for the period 2005-2025 using analysis of medical records.
