  • Certain compounds present in the roots are also identified in the leaves of G. glabra.

    “These studies demonstrated that certain compounds present in the roots are also identified in the leaves of G. glabra leaves [16].”

    From Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra, G. uralensis, and G. inflata) and Their Constituents as Active Cosmeceutical Ingredients (2022) · cites this paper as [16]

    The Phytochemistry/Chemistry section lists compounds isolated from G. glabra roots, while the Introduction’s Morphology section describes the leaves without discussing their chemistry. Searches for compounds shared by roots and leaves found no passage identifying any such overlap in our copy; page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
