Abstract

Everybody is, or should be, interested in twins.H. H. NewmanTWINNING occurs often enough — approximately 1:80 pregnancies — to constitute an important biologic event. Because of the frequency with which obstetric and neonatal hazards accompany multiple pregnancy, it is recognized as having considerable medical importance. Although it has long been known that two classes of twins exist, so-called identical and fraternal twins, it was not until Sir Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin, proposed twins as model for the understanding of disease that twin research became an active field.1 Galton suggested that by comparison of various findings . . .

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.
