How PF-Atlas Works
PF-Atlas is a research tracker for pulmonary fibrosis and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It indexes drugs, trials and papers from public sources, separates clinical fact from computational modeling, and dates every scan. It is built and maintained by an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient. It is not a medical provider and does not give medical advice.
Who builds this (Experience)
PF-Atlas is built and maintained by Guy Levin, a person living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The tool grew from a patient need to see every treatment and trial in one place. The author is accountable and reachable, and the atlas is offered free. Because the maintainer is a patient rather than a clinician, every page separates verified fact from modeling and defers treatment decisions to qualified physicians.
Where the data comes from (Authoritativeness)
Trials come from ClinicalTrials.gov, the public registry of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, keyed by NCT identifier. Papers come from PubMed, keyed by PMID. Drug approvals reference the FDA. Each entity page deep-links its primary source so any claim can be checked at origin.
How the atlas is built (Expertise)
Automated scanning agents query the public registries on a schedule and store new records with their identifiers and scan dates. Every treatment and trial is placed into one of three labeled evidence tiers so a reader can tell an approved drug from a preclinical hypothesis at a glance.
Evidence tiers and honesty (Trust)
PF-Atlas does not invent statistics, licence numbers or expert names. Where a number is shown it comes from a cited source or a clearly labeled computational model. Modeling output is never presented as clinical fact. Corrections are welcome by email.
