Claims the paper makes
- Interpretationreasoning
Peripheral lymph is under higher pressure than lymph farther along the vessels.
“Because lymph flows centripetally, it is clear that the peripheral lymph is under higher pressure than that farther along the vessels.”
Quote in the paperNot a substantial claim - Interpretationreasoning
Lymph nodes serve as filtering-out places for foreign particles, including microorganisms.
“The lymph nodes serve as filtering-out places for foreign particles, including microorganisms, because the lymph comes into intimate contact with the numerous phagocytic cells of the sinusoids.”

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.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.
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.
