By field
Every field leans on its own vocabulary and outcome measures. This is a starting orientation, not a substitute for expertise: enough to recognize what a paper's numbers are actually claiming. Pick your field to read more.

Anything else
When a project has a medical specialty set, Lattice pulls values like ejection fraction or fracture classification into their own field on each paper, but only when the paper states them directly. It never computes, infers, or judges a value as normal or abnormal, since reference ranges vary by population and country. This context is here to help you read those values, and the rest of a paper's numbers, with the right eye.
