  • Recent international studies have reported increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and psychological distress during lockdown.

    “recent international studies have reported increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and psychological distress during lockdown (4–10)”

    From The Evolution of Psychological and Behavioral Consequences of Self-Isolation During Lockdown: A Longitudinal Study Across United Kingdom and Italy (2022) · cites this paper as [7]

    The passage labelled Abstract (page not specified) reports that a study in China found depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress in a high proportion of health care workers. It does not report that these symptoms increased during lockdown, and the cited paper’s own Taiwan survey assessed psychological well-being rather than changes in those four symptoms.

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.
