Liver biopsy: The best, not the gold standard
Open accessAbstract
Fibrosis, the hallmark of chronic liver diseases, is one of the major deleterious processes associated with chronic hepatitis C. Staging of fibrosis relies on an evaluation of several histological features including assessment of extent of the extracellular matrix deposit, the localization of the deposits within the liver lobule and changes in lobular architecture. These features are then integrated into a semiquantitative scoring system. Histological staging of fibrosis has gained acceptance as a major element in evaluation of liver damage in hepatitis C.

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.
