References

The shared bibliography for all four compound dossiers, preserved in citation order.

How to read this file

This index gathers every source cited by number across Boston Peptide. Each record is assigned once and retains its publication details, DOI where present, and source link. The set includes primary trials, mechanistic studies, reviews, and authoritative clinical references. Those source types answer different questions; citation alone does not make their evidentiary weight equal.

The bibliography supports this bounded digest rather than claiming to be an exhaustive systematic review. Return to the compound dossiers or the comparison to see how each reference is used in context.
