At the bottom of the article, the paper has been published in a peer reviewed journal.

    You can't just believe something because it's been peer-reviewed. It is an absolutely minimal requirement for credibility these days but the system does not work well at all.

    In this case, the authors acknowledge the need for more studies to establish how generalisable their findings are. It's the first attempt at building a tool, it doesn't mean anything at all until the findings are reproduced by an independent group.

    totally agree, peer reviewing is the bare minimum, but it IS a step above any old article published on a random website. also would like to acknowledge the limitations of this particular study. fair criticism and is something the authors brought up in their paper too.

    my reply was in response to the original commenter mentioning that there was no link to the study at all.

    Totally agree, like for those vaccins. It's not because they are published they are safe ! /s.
