Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A hybrid approach of dropwise addition of a polymer/drug organic phase to excess aqueous media followed by dialysis yielded smaller (20-50 nm) and more uniform micelle sizes.

    “This approach yielded smaller (20–50 nm) and more uniform micelle sizes.”

    From Polymeric micelles for the delivery of poorly soluble drugs: From nanoformulation to clinical approval. (2020) · cites this paper as [274]

    Section 2.2 describes adding a copolymer solution to water and then dialyzing it. Section 3.3 and Table 2b report relatively narrow size distributions and diameters of 30–55 nm at 1 wt.%, depending on solvent—not the claimed 20–50 nm range. The method and results concern copolymer particles; our copy does not establish the result for a polymer/drug phase. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The organic solvent selected affects polydispersity, highlighting the need to evaluate multiple solvent systems to optimize formulation stability.

    “The selection of organic solvent used also had an effect on polydispersity once again highlighting the need to evaluate multiple solvent systems in order to optimize formulation stability.”

    From Polymeric micelles for the delivery of poorly soluble drugs: From nanoformulation to clinical approval. (2020) · cites this paper as [274]

    Section 3.6 reports broader particle-size distributions with DMSO and THF than with the other two solvents, supporting an effect of solvent choice on polydispersity. The paper compares four solvents, but it does not establish that testing multiple solvent systems is needed to optimize formulation stability; Section 3.6 instead says all the particles were stable against small dilution. Page numbers were not supplied for these passages. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • In both dialysis and hybrid methods, particle size was stable after dilution.

    “In both methods, the particle size was stable after dilution.”

    From Polymeric micelles for the delivery of poorly soluble drugs: From nanoformulation to clinical approval. (2020) · cites this paper as [274]

    Sections 3.2 and 3.3 report that particle size remained essentially unchanged after dilution for the two methods that add water to an organic solution or add the organic solution to water. Section 3.1 says dialysis samples were diluted before measurement, but does not compare their sizes before and after dilution; it also describes their sizes as poorly reproducible. The claim is therefore supported for the two addition methods, not for dialysis. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • A study found that dialysis alone did not produce a uniform particle population or nanosized polymeric micelles.

    “In one study, the use of just dialysis did not produce a uniform particle population or nanosized polymeric micelles [274].”

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.
