Six public APIs, no keys and no paywall. Queries are scoped to title and abstract rather than full text, because a full-text hit on Curcuma in a reference list is not evidence of anything.

What survives is ranked against an eight-level evidence hierarchy, so a randomised trial outranks a review that cites it.
