Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • CS patients are highly photosensitive, burning and blistering after only minutes of sun exposure.

    “CS patients are also highly photosensitive, burning and blistering after only minutes of sun exposure (5).”

    From Why Cockayne syndrome patients do not get cancer despite their DNA repair deficiency (2016) · cites this paper as [5]

    The survey results report frequent sunburn (91.67%), blistering sunburn (40.68%), and pain upon sun exposure (46.67%) among CS patients. They do not say that burning or blistering occurs after only minutes of exposure (survey results; page not provided). (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • CS patients, defective in the TCR branch of NER, present developmental defects and neurodegeneration; many but not all are photosensitive, some developing blistering sunburns.

    “CS patients, defective in the TCR branch of NER (1, 27), present a very different clinical picture, one of developmental defects and neurodegeneration; many but not all patients are also photosensitive, some developing blistering sunburns (5, 28).”
  • No known CS patient has ever developed cancer.

    “In contrast to XP-C patients, no known CS patient has ever developed cancer (4, 5, 8).”
  • Although patients with CS and TTD have mutations in NER genes, they are cancer-free but generally present developmental defects, neurodegeneration, and accelerated aging.

    “Curiously, although patients with CS and TTD also have mutations in NER genes, they are cancer-free [207] but generally present developmental defects, neurodegeneration, and accelerated aging [208].”

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.
