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

  • One randomized controlled trial from that meta-analysis showed that cocaine craving decreased more rapidly in the treatment group compared with placebo.

    “one RCT from that meta-analysis showed that cocaine craving decreased more rapidly in the treatment group compared to placebo.137”

    From The ASAM/AAAP Clinical Practice Guideline on the Management of Stimulant Use Disorder (2024) · cites this paper as [137]

    The Evidence for Pharmacotherapy section discusses treatments for adolescent opioid, tobacco, cannabis, and alcohol use disorders, but does not report a cocaine-craving result. Searches for the claimed randomized trial, meta-analysis, and faster reduction in cocaine craving versus placebo found no passage addressing that comparison in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
