14 days at ¥0 — every feature, nothing held back.
Board-certified specialists pick the latest internal-medicine papers and break them down: how to read the study design,
how to build your slides, and the questions your attending will ask.
Don’t need Premium? Switch to Standard (¥980/month) any time.
Even on the free plan: 3 papers a week, any explainer in the library, in full.
More than 600 of our explainers are available in English; the rest are Japanese only. Every one of them is written and reviewed by board-certified specialists in Japan.
Three full explainers, readable end to end without an account. Flip through all three and see exactly how deep each one goes.

Each column ties together 10–37 trials to trace how thinking on one question actually changed. Every one opens from the first chapter.

What trips residents up is rarely the medicine. It’s finding the paper, decoding it, and surviving the questions.
Almost nobody teaches you how to spot the one paper worth an hour of everyone’s time. So the night disappears into PubMed.
Methods, results, forest plots, hazard ratios. Without a template for study design, you read all night and still miss the point.
“What are the limitations?” “How does this change Monday’s clinic?” Freezing on that question is what keeps people away from papers altogether.
It adds up
Instead of skimming one paper in a panic tonight.
Finding and reading papers yourself: one a day at best. Even across a year, 365 papers is the ceiling. Here, you just read the explainers。 — 30 a week, 120 a month, 1,500 a year。. What you read stays with you.
The gap keeps opening: roughly 4,500 papers in three years, 7,500 in five. One at a time becomes a mountain nobody catches.
Specialists do the reading, the summarising and the anticipating ahead of you. What’s left is the part that matters: understanding it, and saying it in your own words.
The questions that actually get asked, paired with model answers — limitations and clinical application included, so you don’t stall.
Specialists pick the one paper worth reading now from the major journals. Filter by field and stop agonising over what to choose.
Where to look in each key figure to reach the conclusion, redrawn in our own diagrams. Read the meaning, not just the digits.
Background, PECO, methods, results and discussion laid out slide by slide — down to what belongs on each page.
What the paper means and where it stops, from someone who practises it — the reading you don’t get from textbooks.
RCT or cohort, and where it sits in the hierarchy. Every explainer builds the axis you judge reliability on.
Filter by cardiology, GI, nephrology — whatever rotation you’re on. This week’s paper is right there.
PECO, results, limitations and likely questions, on a fixed template, in five minutes. The original passages are linked.
Take the outline and finish it in your own words. You walk in with the questions already handled.
No time to read deeply? You still start from the core points, with the questions already anticipated.
Study design and interpretation, practised on real trials until EBM stops feeling foreign.
A shared template means less variance between presenters, and more room for real discussion.
Most services stop at a summary. Paper Cruxy takes it, by hand, to the point where you can stand up and present.
| Paper CruxyWritten by hand, by specialists | A typical paper-summary service | |
|---|---|---|
| New papers summarised | Yes | Yes |
| Who writes it | A board-certified specialist, by hand, in each field | Often mostly auto-generated |
| How to read the figures/tables | Explained with our own diagrams | Usually summary only |
| Slide outline | Page by page | No |
| and the questions your attending will ask | With model answers | No |
| Takes you all the way to presenting | Walk in and present | Usually stops at the summary |
This comparison describes paper-summary services in general terms. What any individual service offers will differ.
