  • A 10-week trial by Vargas-Molina et al. compared high-protein diets (2.5 g/kg) at maintenance/eucaloric balance or a slight (10%) caloric deficit in resistance-trained subjects; in the hypocaloric group, fat mass decreased (2.94 kg) to a greater degree than in the eucaloric group (1.41 kg), while both groups gained similar amounts of lean mass (1.04 kg and 0.97 kg, respectively).

    “A recent 10-week trial by Vargas-Molina et al. [120] compared high-protein diets (2.5 g/kg) at either maintenance/eucaloric balance or a slight (10%) caloric deficit in resistance-trained subjects. In the hypocaloric group, fat mass decreased (2.94 kg) to a greater degree than that in the eucaloric group (1.41 kg), while both groups gained similar amounts of lean mass (1.04 kg and 0.97 kg, respect”

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.
