Relation between Exposure to Asbestos and Mesothelioma
Abstract
IN 1960 Wagner, Sleggs and Marchand1 reported 33 cases of diffuse pleural mesothelioma from the North Western Cape Province of South Africa. The collection of such a large number of cases of a rare tumor within a short time (1956–1960) in one area was considered unusual enough. Even more striking was the fact that close questioning and investigation revealed that 32 patients had evidence, admittedly circumstantial in most cases, of some potential or actual contact with asbestos by virtue either of residence in mining areas or in industry twenty to forty years before.This remarkable concentration of cases in one . . .

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.
