Figure 1 Data acquisition and overall workflow of the current study. (A) All public datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The microarray analysis utilized blood samples (GSE97760) and brain tissue from the hippocampus, superior frontal gyrus (GSE48350), and entorhinal cortex (GSE5281). Single-cell expression was examined using RNA sequencing for the superior frontal gyrus and entorhinal cortex (GSE147528), along with the hippocampus (GSE175814). (B) Schematic diagram summarizing the methodology outline of the study.

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.
