  • An increase in TSH associated with sertraline therapy was reported in 11 patients, although another study did not report such an increase.

    “An increase in TSH associated with sertraline therapy was reported in 11 patients (186), although another study did not report such an increase (187).”
  • L-T4 requirements increased in nine L-T4-treated hypothyroid patients under sertraline; in two patients under TSH-suppressive L-T4 therapy, TSH levels rose into the normal range.

    “L-T4 requirements increased in nine L-T4-treated hypothyroid patients under sertraline (73). Confirming the sertraline-T4 interaction, in two patients under TSH-suppressive L-T4 therapy, TSH levels rose into the normal range (73).”

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.
