Abstract

The human gastrointestinal tract is home to immense and complex populations of microorganisms. Using recent technical innovations, the diversity present in this human body habitat is now being analyzed in detail. This review focuses on the microbial ecology of the gut in inflammatory bowel diseases and on how recent studies provide an impetus for using carefully designed, comparative metagenomic approaches to delve into the structure and activities of the gut microbial community and its interrelationship with the immune system.

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?

  • The composition of the gut microbiota is considered important in IBD pathogenesis because IBD patients and healthy people have been reported to differ in their intestinal microbiota.

    “The composition of the intestinal microbiota is thought to be an important factor in pathogenesis, because patients with IBD and healthy individuals have been reported to have differences in intestinal microbiota63.”
  • Changes in the gut microbiota have been repeatedly reported in patients with IBD, with the most consistent change being a reduction in Firmicutes.

    “Changes in the gut microbiota have been repeatedly reported in patients with IBD, with certain changes clearly linked to either Crohn's disease (CD) or UC: the most consistent change is a reduction in Firmicutes.60”

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.
