Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Higher levels of physical activity are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events.

    “Higher levels of physical activity are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events 4, 5”
  • Plaque composition with fewer mixed plaques and more only calcified plaques seems to be more benign in the most active athletes, resulting in a lower risk profile for future cardiovascular disease.

    “The combination of these plaque types results in a lower risk profile for future CVD.”

    From Relationship between lifelong exercise volume and coronary atherosclerosis in athletes. (2017) · cites this paper as [5]

    The Conclusions (p. 7) discuss physical activity and mortality, but do not discuss plaque composition. Searches for mixed and calcified plaques in athletes returned no passage connecting a combination of plaque types to lower future cardiovascular risk. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
