Oral Therapy for Acute Diarrhea: The Underused Simple Solution
Abstract
IN an editorial in the Journal in 1982,1 Charles Carpenter wrote:We physicians all presumably accept the "primum non nocere" principle. On the basis of... studies... this principle would dictate that oral rehydration be accepted not only as an equal, but perhaps as the superior, means of treating acute diarrheal illnesses in the sophisticated and sanitized medical centers of the Western world as well as in rural Bangladesh.Despite such editorials based on the large volume of research data available and despite the endorsements of such organizations as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the . . .

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.
