A small, 8-week long randomized clinical trial of 25 older adults between 70 and 95 years of age treated with 1 mg/day of rapamycin experienced more side effects than placebo including a small increase in glycated hemoglobin (within-group p=0.03), and a 40% rise in triglyceride levels (within-group p=0.05).
“In contrast to the subjects in the above trials, who tolerated everolimus or BEZ235 quite well, a small, 8-week long randomized clinical trial of 25 older adults between 70 and 95 years of age treated with 1 mg/day of rapamycin experienced more side effects than placebo including a small increase in glycated hemoglobin (within-group p=0.03), and a 40% rise in triglyceride levels (within-group p=0.”

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.
