  • The paper says lung transplantation has expanded worldwide because more donors and candidates are now acceptable, and that candidate selection has become more complex.

    “This trend reflects the expansion of acceptable donors and candidates made possible by clinical and scientific advances. Far fewer absolute contraindications for lung transplant candidacy exist now, compared to the time of publication of prior versions of this document, making the selection of candidates even more complex.”

    From Consensus document for the selection of lung transplant candidates: An update from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. (2021) · cites this paper as [2]

    The introduction says advances in technology and medical knowledge prompted updated candidate-selection guidelines, and the Relative contraindications section allows consideration of some candidates previously treated more restrictively. But our copy does not state that lung transplantation expanded worldwide because more donors became acceptable, nor does it explicitly say there are far fewer absolute contraindications than in 1998 or that selection has become more complex for that reason. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • Fewer absolute contraindications for lung transplant candidacy exist now than when prior versions of this document were published.

    “Far fewer absolute contraindications for lung transplant candidacy exist now, compared to the time of publication of prior versions of this document”

    From Consensus document for the selection of lung transplant candidates: An update from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. (2021) · cites this paper as [2]

    The 2006 guidelines list absolute and relative contraindications and state in the Relative contraindications section (page unavailable) that age alone should not be an absolute contraindication. The Summary (page unavailable) says selection guidance has changed since 1998, but our copy does not establish that there are far fewer absolute contraindications overall than in prior versions. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
