Mounting evidence demonstrates the emergence of Acinetobacter as a cause of hospital-associated and occasionally community-acquired infection in resource-limited settings.
“mounting evidence demonstrates the emergence of this pathogen as a cause of hospital-associated and occasionally community-acquired infection in resource-limited settings.[5, 16–20]”
From Antimicrobial-resistant infections among postpartum women at a Ugandan referral hospital (2017) · cites this paper as [20]
The paper’s opening discussion (p. 2) identifies extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii as a common nosocomial infection in Thailand, supporting the hospital-associated portion of the claim. It does not address community-acquired Acinetobacter infection. Its single-center data also show a decline in incidence, so they do not establish the claimed emergence. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
