Burn Wiki is an open-access clinical reference for burn care. Each clinical claim on each page links to its primary PubMed-indexed source. Each page clears a multi-gate evidence-anchoring pipeline before publication. 88 topics are currently live.
Primary: burn and critical-care physicians, surgical trainees, and advanced practice providers. Content also serves nursing, rehabilitation, pharmacy, social work, and research readers. Open access; no account required.
A large language model drafts each topic from a corpus of primary sources. Each page then passes through a multi-gate review pipeline: literature search, claim extraction, citation verification, internal review, external clinician review, and editor-in-chief sign-off. Pages go live only after every gate passes.
Each clinical claim on a Burn Wiki page is locked to its specific PubMed-indexed source rather than to a page-level bibliography. This makes claims individually re-reviewable as literature evolves, reusable across topics that cite the same primary work, and separately signed off by reviewers.
Each topic carries an evidence-level badge (High, Moderate, Low–Moderate, Low, Expert Consensus) reflecting the strength of the underlying literature. Every cited source is a PubMed-indexed primary work. Textbook chapters are read for bibliography only — their cited PMIDs enter the corpus, but their body text never appears on a Burn Wiki page as authority for a claim.
Burn Wiki has no commercial sponsors, no advertising, and no industry funding. Editorial decisions are driven by clinical relevance and evidence availability.
