By default, your results are sorted by document count, meaning the results with the most supporting articles are listed first.
There are four ways to sort search results in Causaly by:
- Document Count: Relationships with the most articles supporting the relationship will be sorted from most to least articles.
- Evidence Count: This option is similar with the article count but it will prioritize the relationships with the most supporting statements. The “evidence count” accounts for how many times a result is mentioned across different sentences (evidence points) within the same article. For example, if a paper mentions a particular result 20 times, it will have an article count of 1 but an evidence count of 20, reflecting the higher frequency of mentions.
- Most recent: This option sorts the results with the most recently reported findings at the top. This allows users to find trends and emerging knowledge.
- Evidence Score: This measures the linguistic strength of the evidence, assessing how definitive or hypothetical each statement is based on the authors' language. Each evidence point receives a score from -14 to 14, where higher scores indicate more definitive claims, and negative scores reflect refutations.
