A full Trust Center is coming soon. This is the short version of how to read the verification status on every fact we publish.
What our statuses mean
Every fact's status is computed from its actual sources — the strongest source present decides the tier. We never hand-set a status, and a media or social source can never make a fact “verified”. 每条事实的状态由其实际来源自动推定,取最强来源所在层级;绝不手动设定,媒体或社交来源永远无法使事实“已核验”。
What this meansConfirmed against a primary/official source — government, NMPA, hospital official website, official price list, registry, or peer-reviewed paper. / 已核对一手/官方来源(政府、NMPA、医院官网、官方价格表、登记库或同行评审论文)。
SourceNo independent source on file.
