The European Society of Toxicologic Pathology described egregious errors of design, conduct, and interpretation in the Séralini et al. (2012) study, expressed shock at the treatment of the animals, and questioned the legality of the study conduct under European law.
“In describing the egregious errors of design, conduct, and interpretation of the study by these authors, the European Society of Toxicologic Pathology expressed shock at the treatment of the animals and questioned the legality of the study conduct under European law (Schorsch et al., 2013).”

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.
