Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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?

  • Parkinson's disease is a progressive fatal neurological disorder of aging that profoundly impairs control of body movements due to loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which exhibit abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein fibrils in their cell body and neurites.

    “PD is a progressive fatal neurological disorder of aging that profoundly impairs one’s ability to control body movements as the result of loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which exhibit abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein fibrils in their cell body and neurites (Kam et al., 2018; Spillantini et al., 1997).”

    From NAD+ in Brain Aging and Neurodegenerative Disorders (2019) · cites this paper as Spillantini et al., 1997

  • Parkinson's disease is characterized by the loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons and the formation of intracellular Lewy bodies, which consist primarily of α-synuclein and ubiquitin.

    “Parkinson’s disease (PD), the most common neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by the loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons and the formation of intracellular Lewy bodies (LBs), which consist primarily of α-synuclein (hereafter referred to as synuclein) and ubiquitin1.”

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.
