  • Postprandial fullness and early satiation are the cardinal symptoms of postprandial distress syndrome, a subtype of functional dyspepsia.

    “Postprandial fullness and early satiation (termed early satiety in the ROME criteria) are the cardinal symptoms of postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), a subtype of functional dyspepsia (Drossman et al., 2016).”

    From Preliminary data that psychological treatment and baseline anxiety are associated with a decrease in postprandial fullness and early satiation for individuals with bulimia nervosa and related other specified feeding or eating disorder. (2023) · cites this paper as Drossman et al., 2016

    Table 1 (Special Issue Editors; page not provided) identifies postprandial distress syndrome as a subtype of functional dyspepsia. Neither that table nor the other passages in our copy identifies postprandial fullness and early satiation as its cardinal symptoms or confirms the terminology attributed to the Rome criteria; searches for those symptoms and “cardinal symptoms” found no such passage. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Excessive sympathetic or parasympathetic activity in the ANS can lead to dysregulation within the gut-brain axis contributing to maladaptive gastrointestinal responses and resulting in symptomatic flares.

    “Excessive sympathetic or parasympathetic activity in the ANS can lead to dysregulation within the gut-brain axis contributing to maladaptive gastrointestinal responses and resulting in symptomatic flares (8–12,14).”

    From Alterations in Heart Rate Variability Associated With Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2021) · cites this paper as [10]

    The Special Issue Editors section (page not provided) says that central nervous system dysregulation of gut signaling and motor function contributes to gastrointestinal symptoms. It does not identify excessive sympathetic or parasympathetic activity as the cause or describe resulting symptomatic flares. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder of gut-brain interaction, rather than a functional gastrointestinal disorder.

    “resulting in its re-classification as a disorder of gut-brain interaction, rather than a functional gastrointestinal disorder.”

    From British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines on the management of irritable bowel syndrome (2021) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Special Issue Editors section says functional GI disorders are “better defined as Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction,” supporting the terminology used for IBS. But its Table 1 still lists IBS under “Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders,” so the source does not support treating the two labels as mutually exclusive. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • IBS is a disorder of altered bidirectional communication between the gut and brain via the gut-brain axis, and has a biopsychosocial aetiology.

    “IBS is a disorder of altered bidirectional communication between the gut and brain (via the gut-brain axis), and has a biopsychosocial aetiology.32”
  • Heart rate variability provides an indirect measure of the autonomic nervous system.

    “Such monitoring might be achieved through a set of noninvasive electrocardiography parameters, collectively referred to as heart rate variability (HRV), that provides an indirect measure of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) (8–14).”

    From Alterations in Heart Rate Variability Associated With Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2021) · cites this paper as [10]

    The Special Issue Editors passages discuss gut–brain interactions and nervous-system physiology but do not address heart rate variability as a measure of autonomic function. Searches for heart rate variability, HRV, electrocardiography, and the autonomic nervous system found no passage establishing the claim; page numbers were not available in the indexed copy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

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.
