The website for personal evidence-based research

I created a website for my own research. I just grab a piece of study and write down facts from it. Later on I connect facts with each other and compose them in articles (answers to questions) to have a base to discuss the subject. I think the website has potential for broader use, so I wanted to ask for feedback. What do you think about it? Would you find it useful for yourself? Do you miss any feature in particular?

Here are some examples of how the website works:

Did you know that humans can regrow eye lens after cataract surgery? http://evidenceba.se/answers/16-yes-but-for-now-it-was-only-achieved-in-infants-answer-to-can-lens-of-human-eye-be-regenerated-after-cataract-surgery

Or that allergies might be treated with probiotics? http://evidenceba.se/answers/17-allergies-can-be-treated-with-prebiotics-answer-to-how-can-you-cure-allergy

Here is how you can see that a statement from a study (or an article) is suspicious: http://evidenceba.se/facts/72-statins-stimulate-cancer as you can see there is strong evidence against it.

Or you can see that certain disagreement is based purely on opinions of researchers and not on the proper science: http://evidenceba.se/facts/17-benefits-of-statins-and-of-lowering-cholesterol-in-lowering-mortality-are-known-since-1994-4s-study notice how all of the statements are marked as opinions.
