topic-evidence-mapper

separate

Rapidly maps the evidence landscape around a medical topic by organizing major research streams, target populations, endpoints, methods, evidence density, and thin areas. Use this skill BEFORE medical-research-gap-finder — it provides the structured landscape that makes formal gap analysis more rigorous. Do not use for formal gap identification, study design, or protocol planning directly.

When to use

• Rapid familiarization with an unfamiliar medical topic
• Pre-gap-analysis evidence landscape mapping
• Pre-review or pre-scoping-review topic structuring
• Entry-point selection before study design
• Early field saturation assessment
• Disease-level topic mapping
• Mechanism-focused topic mapping
• Biomarker / prognosis topic mapping

When not to use

• Formal gap identification
• Study design
• Protocol planning
• Direct patient-specific treatment advice
• Prose narrative summaries of papers
• Labeling thin areas as formal research gaps
• Replacing a dedicated gap-analysis skill
