Abstract

The outbreak of 2019-novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that is caused by SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly in China, and has developed to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. However, no specific antiviral treatments or vaccines are available yet. This work aims to share strategies and candidate antigens to develop safe and effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.

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

  • mRNA and DNA vaccines may not be able to induce protective efficacy in humans after a single immunization because they typically require multiple administrations over an extended period.

    “However, mRNA and DNA vaccines may not be able to induce protective efficacy in humans after a single immunization since, similar to inactivated and recombinant subunit protein vaccines, they typically require multiple administrations over an extended period of time to become effective (19).”

    From An <i>Alphavirus</i> -derived replicon RNA vaccine induces SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody and T cell responses in mice and nonhuman primates (2020) · cites this paper as [19]

    The paper says subunit vaccines require multiple booster shots, and Table 1 reports lower immune responses in humans for DNA vaccines. It does not say that both DNA and mRNA vaccines typically require multiple administrations over an extended period, or that a single dose cannot provide protective efficacy in humans. The indexed copy provides section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
