lattice
Early access

From first search to finished draft.

One place for the whole research project: find papers, keep your evidence straight, check your references, analyse, write and submit. Made for medical students, residents, clinician-researchers and grad students in any field.

We're opening Lattice to a small group first. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it's ready.

Who it's for

Built by medical students, for people who write research.

Medical students and residents

Write your first papers without juggling PubMed, Zotero, Word, the IRB and the journal's rules.

Clinician-researchers

Evidence tables, IRB drafts, CONSORT and STROBE checks, reviewer replies and data from de-identified case notes, in one project.

PhD students

Keep a growing library under control, ask it questions, and draft chapters from what you have actually read.

Master's students

Plan your thesis, check your references, find the right statistical test and proofread as you go.

Qualitative researchers

Code interview transcripts, group codes into themes, and export your excerpts.

Chapter 3: Methodology

This study uses a cross-sectional survey design, following approaches reported in earlier work on adolescent sleep (Okafor, 2021; Lindqvist and Haas, 2019).

[Describe your sample here: who took part and how they were recruited]

Seven citation styles. Your own methods and results stay as placeholders, never invented.

09Report

Does your paper say what journals expect?

Pick CONSORT for a trial, PRISMA for a review, ARRIVE for animal studies, or STROBE, CARE or COREQ, and see which points your draft covers and which are missing, with the sentence it found.

  • Draws the CONSORT flow diagram for randomized trials
  • Checks what the paper says, not how good the study is
Reporting check
  • Reported1aThe title says it is a randomized trial.
  • Reported7aExplains how the sample size was decided.
  • Reported8aSays how the random allocation sequence was generated.
  • Missing9Describes how the sequence was kept hidden until participants were assigned (allocation concealment).
  • Unclear11aSays who was blinded after assignment (participants, carers, assessors) and how.
  • Reported13aGives, for each group, the numbers randomised, who received the intended treatment, and who was analysed for the primary outcome.
  • Missing19Reports all important harms or unintended effects in each group.
  • Reported23Gives the trial registration number and the name of the registry.
