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?

  • Cirrhosis stage correlates positively with Enterobacteriaceae and negatively with Lachnospiraceae.

    “These changes seem to develop progressively, as cirrhosis stage is positively correlated with Enterobacteriaceae and negatively correlated with Lachnospiraceae33,34.”
  • The intestinal microbiota of patients with compensated cirrhosis differs from that of patients with decompensated cirrhosis, suggesting cirrhosis stage rather than underlying liver disease drives gut microbiota changes.

    “The finding that the intestinal microbiota of patients with compensated cirrhosis differs from that of patients with decompensated cirrhosis34 suggests that cirrhosis stage, rather than the underlying liver disease, drives gut microbiota changes.”
  • Cognitive impairment arising due to hepatic encephalopathy is mediated by microbial disturbances and can be reversed with oral antibiotic treatment.

    “For example, it is well established that the cognitive impairment arising due to hepatic encephalopathy is mediated by microbial disturbances and can be reversed with oral antibiotic treatment (414–417).”

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.
