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?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“This decreasing trend in monocytes and dendritic cells induced by ARCoV was different from that observed with inactivated vaccines and the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine [26,[41], [42], [43]].”
From Systemic profiling of immune responses in healthy adults vaccinated with an RBD-targeting COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (2025) · cites this paper as [26]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“BNT162b2 vaccination induces strong antibody and antigen-specific T-cell responses, and it is associated with a significant expansion of a distinct myeloid cell cluster enriched in interferon-response transcription factors [26,27].”
From Systemic profiling of immune responses in healthy adults vaccinated with an RBD-targeting COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (2025) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“This decreasing trend in monocyte and DC proportions contrasts with responses to other vaccines, such as mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 and inactivated vaccine BBIBP-CorV [26,42], possibly due to the shorter antigen encoded by ARCoV and the unmodified uridine [46].”
From Systemic profiling of immune responses in healthy adults vaccinated with an RBD-targeting COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (2025) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“The neutralizing antibody stimulated by BNT162b2 showed a negative association with age [26].”

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.
