How PF-Atlas Works: Methodology & Editorial Standards
Who builds PF-Atlas, where the data comes from, and how clinical fact is separated from computational modeling.
Who builds this
PF-Atlas is built and maintained by Guy Levin, an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient, as an open research atlas. It is not a medical provider and does not offer medical advice. The goal is to map every IPF treatment, trial, drug and mechanism into one connected, verifiable reference.
Where the data comes from
Treatment, trial and research data are indexed from primary public sources: PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov and the U.S. FDA, plus peer-reviewed journals and preprint servers. Each entity page links back to its source so any claim can be checked.
Three evidence levels
PF-Atlas labels everything by evidence level so readers can tell established medicine from hypothesis:
Editorial standards
Pages are written by the PF-Atlas Research Team and reviewed against source data. Modeling output is always labeled as such and never presented as a treatment recommendation. Dates of last review appear on each article. Corrections can be sent through the site.
