Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most findings, but not all, suggest a robust correlation between ELS/CT and adult CRP levels.

    “Most findings, but not all, suggest a robust correlation between ELS/CT and adult CRP levels (165, 166, 170, 199–202).”

    From Developmental Trajectories of Early Life Stress and Trauma: A Narrative Review on Neurobiological Aspects Beyond Stress System Dysregulation (2019) · cites this paper as [200]

    The opening section reports that adults exposed to childhood maltreatment had elevated inflammation biomarkers, particularly when they also had depression. It does not identify those adult biomarkers as CRP or assess whether most findings across studies show a robust correlation; this paper’s own hsCRP measurements were taken in children aged 12. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Children exposed to physical maltreatment before age 10 and depressed at age 12 exhibited significantly higher levels of CRP relative to children with depression only, maltreatment only, and neither depression nor maltreatment.

    “children who were exposed to physical maltreatment before age 10 and depressed at age 12 exhibited significantly higher levels of CRP relative to children with depression only, maltreatment only, and neither depression nor maltreatment”

    From From stress to inflammation and major depressive disorder: A social signal transduction theory of depression. (2014) · cites this paper as Danese et al., 2011

    The paper’s main text (page not specified in our copy) reports that children maltreated during their first decade and depressed at age 12 had significantly higher hsCRP than children with neither condition. It says the depression-only and maltreatment-only groups had levels similar to controls, but does not report significant pairwise differences between those groups and the combined group. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Childhood adversity is associated with alterations in the inflammatory arm of the immune system.

    “and the inflammatory arm of the immune system (Carpenter et al., 2010; Danese et al., 2011; Danese, Pariante, Caspi, Taylor, & Poulton, 2007; Slopen, Kubzansky, McLaughlin, & Koenen, 2013; Taylor, Lehman, Kiefe, & Seeman, 2006).”
  • Twelve-year-old children exposed to physical maltreatment by their mothers and who also have elevated depression symptoms have elevated C-reactive protein.

    “For example, 12-year old children exposed to physical maltreatment by their mothers who also have elevated symptoms of depression have elevated CRP (Danese et al., 2011).”
  • The association between early life trauma and increased inflammation was replicated in 12-year-old children.

    “we have been able to replicate the association between early life trauma and increased inflammation also in 12-year-old children (Danese et al., 2011)”

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.
