The article in its current form is built almost entirely on substandard sources (i.e., un-refereed meeting abstracts) that would be deemed unacceptable according to WP guidelines.
WP:MEDRS: Conference abstracts present incomplete and unpublished data and undergo varying levels of review; they are often unreviewed and their initial conclusions may have changed dramatically if and when the data are finally ready for publication. Consequently, they are usually poor sources..."
WP:SCIRS: Preliminary results, whether reported in the popular press, a conference abstract, or a peer-reviewed journal, are a form of anecdote and generally fall below the minimum requirements of reliable science sources….Conference abstracts are often incomplete and preliminary, and may be contradicted if and when the data are published; they should be avoided.
WP:RS/MC: It is vital that the biomedical information in all types of articles be based on reliable, third-party, published sources and accurately reflect current medical knowledge.
