Our verdict

Cora shows a citation's surrounding text directly within a PubMed paper, so a reader can judge how a cited study is actually being used without opening a new tab. Search filters narrow results down to specific interests for more focused reading. Full-text access is not always available, and navigating between nested citation contexts is not always straightforward on a dense paper.
