Style Request: [ZFA modified Vancouver Style]

Hi everbody,

I am looking for a modified Vancouver Style for the ZFA (Zeitschrift für Allgemeinmedizin German Journal of Family Medicine). They mainly stick to Vancouver but want the following:
- Citations with arabic numbers (1,2, 3...) in squared brackets []
- Journal abbreviation according the National Library of Medicine
- indication of the year of publication but NOT month
- title with lower case letters except first letter
- up to 6 authors: list all authors; in case of more than 6 authors: list first 3 and complete with "et al."

- You can find the instructions here (unfortunately German only)
https://www.online-zfa.de/page/Autorenrichtlinien/22 (to find in "Literaturverzeichnis" including examples)

- More Information (incl ISSN 1433-6251 (Print)) see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/7613263

- Examples:
In-text citation:
[1]
[2]

Bibliography:
1. Campbell JL, Pedersen OK. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comp Polit Stud 2007; 40: 307–332.
