A practical AttendMe guide

Build an evidence library you can return to

Save sources around recurring questions and connect reading with your clinical interests.

01

Save the source

Keep a paper with its identifier and bibliographic details, rather than saving an answer without its evidence.

02

Organise by question

Use a focused topic or comparison to make the collection useful when you return.

03

Add an appraisal

Record design, relevance and important limitations. Keep your own interpretation separate from the paper's reported findings.

04

Connect and revisit

Use saved evidence with supported Fellow and knowledge-map workflows. Review a source again when guidance or your question changes.

05

A worked workflow example

Build a small library around one recurring research question. Save source identities and use Analyze or Compare when useful. Preserve the reason you included each paper so the collection remains understandable when you return.

  1. Your input

    Start with: 'Which trials examine mobilisation during mechanical ventilation, and how do their outcome measures differ?' Choose one citation from an answer. Alternatively, search the TEAM trial title in Library's Discover tab and verify PMID 36286256.

  2. In AttendMe

    Select Save to Library on a Chat citation or Add to library on a Discover result. Open Library, then My Library. Search by title, author, DOI or journal. Use Sort: Recently saved to find the item. Select Analyze when it needs closer inspection.

  3. What you inspect

    Check the saved card's title, journal, year and source link. Use More actions, then Open reference, to return to the paper. Identify trials, reviews and follow-up reports. Compare starts from one paper and retrieves similar studies; inspect those identities before treating them as a coherent evidence set.

  4. Your reviewed result

    Example reading record: 'Question: adult ICU mobilisation. Paper identity: record PMID. Reason to keep: outcome definition to revisit. Access: record the available source. Next review: identify what would prompt it.' Keep this record in your worksheet or notes. This example does not promise an in-app folder or note editor.

06

Before you reuse the result

Use this final check to decide whether the work is ready to discuss, save or continue. A useful output preserves its evidence, its scope and the questions it could not answer.

  • The saved card retains an accurate source identity.
  • You can explain why the paper belongs in this collection.
  • Related reports are not counted as separate original studies.
  • A later reader can locate the source and understand the next review question.
