  • An in-depth understanding of indigenous conceptions of disease and therapeutics, and knowledge of local traditions of dietary and medical practice, is necessary for tailoring creative interventions and is critical to the delivery of biomedical drugs.

    “worldwide it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of indigenous conceptions of disease and therapeutics; knowledge about local traditions of dietary and medical practice is important both for tailoring creative interventions and critical also to the delivery of biomedical drugs (Etkin et al., 1990).”

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.
