  • Marital status, gender, pre-existing health conditions and financial status play a significant role in enhancing the risk of developing psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “Marital status, gender, pre-existing health conditions and financial status have been found to play a significant role in enhancing the risk of developing psychological distress during this ongoing health crisis [11].”

    From Efficacy of a six-week-long therapist-guided online therapy versus self-help internet-based therapy for COVID-19–induced anxiety and depression: Open-label, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial (2021) · cites this paper as [11]

    The results (page not provided) report significantly higher perceived stress among female physicians and lower stress among married than non-married physicians in Oman. The paper does not report pre-existing health conditions or financial status as risk factors, and its findings about physicians do not establish the claim for people generally. It also found no significant association of gender or marital status with anxiety. (LLM, conf=0.89)

  • Studies in Oman have suggested that people are at a high risk of experiencing psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “Studies in Oman have suggested that people are at a high risk of experiencing psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic [11].”

    From Efficacy of a six-week-long therapist-guided online therapy versus self-help internet-based therapy for COVID-19–induced anxiety and depression: Open-label, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial (2021) · cites this paper as [11]

    The study’s results report stress and poor psychological well-being among physicians surveyed in Oman during COVID-19, and its discussion says the pandemic affected physicians’ mental health. The claim extends that finding to people in Oman generally, but the study surveyed physicians, not the general population. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

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.
