Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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?

  • LAB can be used as protective cultures to control contaminating or pathogenic microorganisms.

    “Therefore, LAB can be used as a bioprotective culture to increase microbiological safety, extend shelf life, improve texture, and contribute to a pleasant sensory profile of the final product [42,43,47].”
  • LAB cause the rapid acidification of fermented milk via the production of organic acids, mainly lactic acid.

    “LAB cause the rapid acidification of fermented milk via the production of organic acids, mainly lactic acid [42,43].”
  • LAB contribute to flavor, texture, and nutritional value of products as a consequence of their metabolic properties.

    “In addition to their capacity to produce lactic acid, LAB contribute to other product characteristics, such as flavor, texture, and nutritional value, as a consequence of their metabolic properties [3,42,43,44,45].”

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.
