In the citing paper
“In a porcine study by Martin et al., P4HB fibers exhibited significant decrease in fiber diameter and molecular weight, indicating bulk degradation of the polymer throughout the 72 week study [12].”

In the citing paper
“However, mechanical testing revealed similar strengths between P4HB mesh-repaired sites and native porcine abdominal wall at 72 weeks.”
From Prospective, multicenter study of P4HB (Phasix™) mesh for hernia repair in cohort at risk for complications: 3-Year follow-up (2021) · cites this paper as [12]
In the citing paper
“P4HB fibers displayed evidence of degradation at 48 weeks, and only small fragments were visible at 72 weeks.”
From Prospective, multicenter study of P4HB (Phasix™) mesh for hernia repair in cohort at risk for complications: 3-Year follow-up (2021) · cites this paper as [12]
In the citing paper
“P4HB offers a long-term resorption profile of 12–18 months, providing mechanical support of the defect to prevent early hernia recurrence [11,12].”

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.
