## What is CardioThoraxia?

CardioThoraxia - Precision Literature Search and AI Insight for Cardiothoracic Surgery 

CardioThoraxia is a focused literature search and analysis tool built specifically for cardiothoracic surgeons, trainees, and researchers.

Search PubMed efficiently. Interpret abstracts clearly. Stay current with confidence.

AI Insight (Optional Subscription)

AI Insight provides structured, academic-style interpretations of PubMed abstracts to help you quickly understand what a study is reporting.

Each AI Insight includes:
	•	One-sentence takeaway
	•	Study type and population summary
	•	Intervention and comparator overview
	•	Key findings based only on the abstract
	•	Reported limitations
	•	Cardiothoracic surgery implications
	•	A structured “Should this change practice?” assessment with confidence rating

AI Insight is generated from PubMed abstract text and metadata only, not full text. It is intended for literature interpretation and educational use only. It does not provide medical advice. Always review the original abstract and full article before applying findings in clinical practice.

AI Insight is available as an auto-renewing subscription.

Precision Search Built for Cardiothoracic Surgery

Build accurate PubMed searches using a guided, topic-based approach without writing complex query strings manually.
	•	Start with curated cardiothoracic surgery topics
	•	Combine topics using AND or OR logic
	•	Emphasize a primary topic to focus results
	•	Add optional refinements as needed

Designed for Clinical Practice
	•	Comprehensive taxonomy covering cardiac, thoracic, congenital, transplant, aortic, vascular, and surgical domains
	•	Topics organized by clinical workflow rather than generic medical categories
	•	Supports both focused clinical questions and broad literature exploration

For Trainees and Experienced Surgeons
	•	Build effective searches without knowing PubMed syntax
	•	Advanced Search allows direct editing of the underlying PubMed query
	•	Seamless links to PubMed abstracts and journal websites

CardioThoraxia helps you spend less time managing search syntax and more time engaging with the literature that matters.
