The main source of uncertainty in our estimates is the total number of fibers in the dorsal root and, most importantly, the proportion of myelinated Ab fibers for each dermatome.
“The main source of uncertainty in our estimates is the total number of fibers in the dorsal root and, most importantly, the proportion of myelinated Ab fibers for each dermatome (Davenport and Bothe 1934;Sperry et al. 2020).”

The fraction of myelinated fibers varies across the spinal tract, being higher in the cervical and lumbar tract, and on average around 40% of axons have been classified as unmyelinated.
“The fraction of myelinated fibers varies across the spinal tract, being higher in the cervical and lumbar tract (Davenport and Bothe 1934;O'Sullivan and Swallow 1968) and, on average, around 40% of axons have been classified as unmyelinated (Sheehan 1935).”

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.
