Upgrade StorageStyle Error: Modern Pathology
Existing style for Modern Pathology (last update 2018-02-17) gives incorrect output for in-line citations and reference formatting. Per the guide to authors a modified Vancouver style is used. https://www.nature.com/documents/modpath-gta.pdf

In particular, in-line citations should be given as (ref. 1) not as superscript 1, and formatting for journal articles should list the first six authors before using et al, journal titles should be abbreviated and italicized, journal volumes should be bold-face, and the publication year should be the last element and in parentheses.
None of the existing Zotero styles achieve all this -- the current Modern Pathology style is very wrong, Vancouver style outputs the right author formatting but none of the rest of the requirements, and Nature style is mostly correct but lists the wrong number of authors (one instead of six). None of them get the in-line citation format right.
Please help! I don't know enough about CSL to fix all this myself.

We generally go by papers in their final version in .pdf as guidelines are often outdated.
Considering this is a Nature journal and matches the format in the .pdf I'd submit the paper with that style.
I'll get a dependent style for it set up so other people will also get the right style.
If the editors say anything please let us know.
