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?

  • Some red algae produce sulfated polysaccharides showing antiviral capacity against viruses responsible for different infectious diseases.

    “Specifically, some red algae produce sulfated polysaccharides showing antiviral capacity against viruses responsible for different infectious diseases.”
  • Extracts from Bryopsis sp. contain depsipeptides kahalalide A and F, and kahalalide F has anticancer properties controlling tumors causing colon, lung, and prostate cancer.

    “Extracts from algae Bryopsis sp. contain some compounds (depsipeptides kahalalide A and F) whose future seems to lie with the development of kahalalide F for treatment of lung cancer, tumors, and AIDS. This is due to the fact that kahalalide F has anticancer properties, namely the control of tumors causing colon, lung and prostate cancer [58].”
  • Algae from the three large groups (green, brown, and red algae) produce polysaccharides that show antibacterial activity against pathogens such as Aeromonas salmonicida or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    “According to other authors [58,76], algae from the three large groups (green, brown, and red algae) produce interesting polysaccharides that show antibacterial activity against some pathogen bacteria such as Aeromonas salmonicida or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, both being of importance because of their high pathogenicity, resistance, and incidence in humans.”
  • Polysaccharides from brown algae are well known for their anticancer and cancer preventive properties.

    “Polysaccharides from brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are well known for their anticancer and cancer preventive properties [9].”
  • The anticancer properties of fucoidans have been established many times by in vitro and in vivo experiments.

    “The anticancer properties of fucoidans have been established many times by in vitro and in vivo experiments [9,12,13,31,32,33].”

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.
