  • A failure to understand the complexities of, and commonalities between, male and female genital cutting practices has real-world consequences.

    “Rather, a failure to understand the complexities of, and commonalties between, male and female genital cutting practices has real-world consequences.”

    From Reconsidering the role of patriarchy in upholding female genital modifications: analysis of contemporary and pre-industrial societies (2023) · cites this paper as [67]

    In “The Framing of Medical Consequences of Female Genital Cutting” (page unavailable), the authors say that overlooking the complexity of FGC can lead to unwanted clinical outcomes and missed causes of patients’ complaints. Our copy does not address commonalities between male and female genital cutting practices, so it supports the real-world-consequences point only for FGC. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Such failure can lead to harmful or inappropriate medical care for affected women, based on inaccurate assumptions about their bodies and experiences.

    “It can lead to harmful or inappropriate medical care for affected women, based on inaccurate assumptions about their bodies and experiences [66–68];”

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.
