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

  • Unavailability of vaccines, drug shortages, limited testing, lack of scientific understanding, untrained healthcare staff, and absence of affordable treatment during the first wave resulted in a much higher death rate.

    “With the unavailability of vaccines, short supply of the available drug, limited laboratory testing, lack of scientific understanding of the virus, untrained healthcare staff, and absence of proper treatment to a large population at a reasonable cost during the first wave of COVID-19 resulted in a critically much higher death rate [28].”

    From Waves and variants of SARS-CoV-2: understanding the causes and effect of the COVID-19 catastrophe (2022) · cites this paper as [28]

    Table 1 lists unavailable vaccines, drug shortages, limited testing, less disease knowledge, less-trained healthcare workers, and higher treatment costs in the first wave; it also labels the first-wave death rate “Higher.” It does not establish that those conditions caused the higher death rate or quantify it as “much higher.” The indexed copy provides no page number for Table 1.

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.
