  • Social movements can help promote equal rights, address basic needs, and uphold freedoms, and are therefore crucial to achieving health equity.

    “Social movements can help promote equal rights, address basic needs, and uphold freedoms, thanks to global solidarity principles, and are, therefore, crucial to achieving health equity (82).”

    From Bridging Sectors and Disciplines to Gain a Critical Understanding of the Eco-Social Determinants of Health Inequities: The ESDHI-EU Conference (2025) · cites this paper as [82]

    The Conclusion (page unavailable) links health equity for disadvantaged migrating populations to promoting rights and empowerment. The Introduction also connects equal rights, basic determinants of health, and freedoms to migrants’ wellbeing. But the cited paper does not establish the sentence’s central claim that social movements, through global solidarity, are crucial to achieving health equity. (LLM, conf=0.78)

  • Classical exposomal factors, including air pollution, structural socioeconomic inequality, gender inequalities, and migration, are associated with accelerated aging.

    “Classical exposomal factors, including physical(air pollution) and social factors (structural socioeconomic inequality20,26,34, gender inequalities27, and migration33) are known to impact brain health and aging, which we demonstrate to also be associated with accelerated aging.”

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.
