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?

  • Data from 104 hypothyroid patients showed that TSH was significantly reduced in the capsule group (1.3 ± 0.9 vs 1.8 ± 1.2 mU/L, P = .02).

    “Data from 104 hypothyroid patients showed that TSH was significantly reduced in the capsule group (1.3 ± 0.9 vs 1.8 ± 1.2 mU/L, P = .02) (224).”
  • It can be postulated that soft gel capsules have superior efficacy over tablets.

    “In conclusion, it can be postulated that soft gel capsules have superior efficacy over tablets.”
  • The difference in TSH between capsule and tablet groups may be related to a more favorable pharmacokinetic profile of soft gel capsules in patients.

    “This difference may be related to a more favorable pharmacokinetic profile of soft gel capsules in patients.”

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.
