Bibliography
Annotated Sources
Primary records, official summaries, systematic reviews, and historical references used across Buried Remedy.
This bibliography favors official agencies, peer-reviewed journals, medical-history institutions, trial registries, and systematic reviews. Links are annotated by how they are used in the archive, not by whether they support an exciting story.
Framework and medical history
- Science History Institute, Ignaz Semmelweis. Used for the handwashing case, resistance to evidence, and the mortality drop after chlorinated-lime disinfection.
- BMJ Open, publication bias in clinical trials. Used for the general point that positive studies are more likely to appear in the published literature.
- Cochrane evidence overview. Used for the site's explanation of why systematic reviews matter when individual studies conflict.
Vindicated case files
- The aspirin story, PubMed abstract. Used for the willow-to-aspirin historical framing.

Source status can change. The archive should be updated when a major regulatory decision, high-quality randomized trial, or systematic review materially changes one of the case files.
