Fig. 2 (Experiment 1): Titanium accumulation in Caco-2 cells from exposures to 1 mg l -1 of different forms of TiO2 for 24 h. Data points are means ± SEM ( n = 3 replicates/treatment). Curves were fitted using Sigma plot version 12.0 to the raw data ( n = 3 observations/treatment) using the rectangular hyperbola function ( f = y 0 + a × (1 -exp( -b × x )). Equations for the curve fits were as follows: For bulk f = 2.64 + 11.54 × (1 -exp( -0.261 × x )), r 2 = 0.901; For P25, f = 1.16 + 12.54 × (1 -exp( -0.22 × x ), r 2 = 0.875; For anatase f = 1.71 + 7.01 × (1 -exp( -0.3017 × x ), r 2 = 0.952; For rutile f = 2.07 + 4.86 × (1 -exp( -0.67 × x )), r 2 = 0.731. The unexposed control showed no time-dependent changes and therefore a curve was not fitted. Accumulation of all titanium forms is significantly different to the controls (ANOVA P < 0.05 (*)) at 24 h. Accumulation of Bulk and P25 titanium forms at 24 h is significantly greater than the anatase and rutile forms (ANOVA P < 0.05 ( ∼ )).

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.
