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?

  • There is currently an absence of a culture of enhancing standards for environmental control, monitoring, and reporting in biomedical research.

    “The task of enhancing standards for environmental control, monitoring, and reporting in biomedical research may initially seem overwhelming provided the current absence of a culture to this end (Collins and Tabak, 2014; Baker, 2016; Hunter, 2017).”
  • Existing recommendations that aim to increase the relevance of in vitro cultures to in vivo physiology are available for many of these factors.

    “For many of these factors, existing recommendations that aim to increase the relevance of in vitro cultures to in vivo physiology are available (Baker, 2016; Muelas et al., 2018; Hirsch and Schildknecht, 2019).”
  • Increased batch-to-batch reproducibility may in the long term reduce the waste of resources associated with irreproducible experiments.

    “Importantly however, even if the cost of a defined non‐animal derived ingredient is higher per purchase, one should consider that increased batch‐to‐batch reproducibility may in the long term reduce the waste of resources associated with irreproducible experiments [31].”

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.
