Get Started Free →Use when deciding which English specialty clinical-medicine journal skill to invoke next, comparing fit across the 30-journal clinical-medicine roadmap, or routing a manuscript before venue-specific re-framing. Routes by specialty, study design (RCT / observational / diagnostic-accuracy / review), and evidence strength, and flags trial registration and the reporting checklist as prerequisites.

This is the routing skill for the specialty-clinical bundle. It does not replace a single-journal profile; it first classifies the study by specialty, study design, and evidence strength, then routes into the matching per-journal skill for fit and re-framing. It is a sibling to en-natsci-journal-workflow (which holds the general big-four and broad-specialty clinical flagships). These skills are venue-fit aids only — not clinical, diagnostic, or regulatory advice.

| Confusable targets | Decision rule | |---|---| | A JAMA Network specialty title vs the general big-four (NEJM/JAMA/Lancet/BMJ in the natural-science bundle) | A practice-changing, broadly significant trial may belong at the general venue; a strong specialty-relevant result routes to the JAMA Network / Lancet specialty title. | | jama-oncology vs annals-of-oncology | Route by audience and society fit (JAMA Network vs ESMO) and re-check current scopes; both take high-quality oncology clinical research. | | journal-of-the-american-society-of-nephrology vs kidney-international | Both are top nephrology venues (ASN vs ISN); route by society fit and emphasis and re-check current scopes. | | journal-of-hepatology vs hepatology | EASL vs AASLD flagships; route by society fit and audience and re-check current scopes. | | the-lancet-psychiatry vs jama-psychiatry | Both are top psychiatry venues; route by family fit (Lancet vs JAMA Network) and the framing/audience. | | Specialty journal vs the-lancet-public-health | A population-health/policy intervention routes to public health; a disease-specific clinical result routes to the specialty journal. |
trial registration (number in the manuscript); systematic review → PRISMA; observational → STROBE; diagnostic accuracy → STARD. These are prerequisites, not nice-to-haves, at these venues.

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 23 cases were attempted. The headline lift of +65 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 23 comparable cases. 3 cases got worse with the skill loaded, and they are included in that figure.
Without the skill loaded, the model failed this case. With it loaded, the same prompt on the same model passed. This is one improved case from the latest verified run; every case, including any that regressed, is in the table above.
Other measured skills in the registry, with their headline benchmark lift.
