Rheumatoid Arthritis: Pathophysiology and Implications for Therapy

Epstein, Franklin H., Harris, Edward D.·1990·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

IN 1947, a technician who had rheumatoid arthritis and who worked in the laboratory of Dr. Harry Rose at Columbia University discovered that her own serum agglutinated excessively. Dr. Rose suggested that this serologic reaction might have been caused by the arthritis. Charles Ragan, a rheumatologist, pursued this suggestion and developed the sheep-cell agglutination test,1 , 2 which we know as a test for rheumatoid factor. For the first time, physicians had a key to the black box that was rheumatoid arthritis and could begin to study the immunologic abnormalities in patients with the disease. The classification of patients could also begin; . . .

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.
