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

  • T3 signaling and homeostasis in LT4-treated patients may not be fully restored in all tissues using LT4 alone.

    “This suggests that T3 signaling and homeostasis in LT4-treated patients may not be fully restored in all tissues using LT4 alone (22).”

    From Liothyronine and Desiccated Thyroid Extract in the Treatment of Hypothyroidism (2020) · cites this paper as [22]

    The Abstract calls for biomarkers of tissue hypothyroidism and research into combining liothyronine with levothyroxine, which is consistent with uncertainty about LT4 replacement. It does not state that T3 signaling or homeostasis remains unrestored in any tissue of LT4-treated patients. (LLM, conf=0.77)

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.
