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?

  • Barton and Wiesner showed that daily injections or intramuscular administration of progesterone caused a rise in waking temperature within 24 h in women with amenorrhea.

    “Barton and Wiesner [63] showed that daily injections or intramuscular administration of progesterone caused a rise in waking temperature within 24 h in women with amenorrhea.”
  • Estrogen alone results in a small (<0.25°C) and temporary depression of waking core body temperature.

    “Results are consistent with studies that administered estrogen alone, resulting in a small (<0.25°C) and temporary depression of waking core body temperature [60,63].”
  • The thermogenic action of progesterone was shown in early studies in which progesterone was administered to men or to women with anovulatory cycles or amenorrhea, or in the follicular phase or luteal phase, or post-menopause.

    “The thermogenic action of progesterone was shown in early studies in which progesterone was administered to men [98] (Figure 3) or to women with anovulatory cycles or amenorrhea, or in the follicular phase or luteal phase, or post-menopause [62,63,99].”
  • When progesterone was administered in the presumed luteal phase, an additional rise in body temperature was observed in some but not all women.

    “When administered in the presumed luteal phase (when waking temperature was already high), an additional rise in body temperature was observed in some but not all women.”
  • Compared to the follicular phase of menstrual cycle, the core body temperature measured in early morning is 0.3 to 0.7 °C higher in the luteal phase, attributed to the thermogenic effect of progesterone.

    “In comparison to the follicular phase of menstrual cycle, the core body temperature (CBT) measured in early morning is 0.3 to 0.7 °C higher in the luteal phase [ 89 , 90 ], which is attributed to the thermogenic effect of progesterone [ 91 ]”

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.
