Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a common disease of the central nervous system affecting approximately 1 million young adults, mostly women, worldwide.1 It is characterized by episodic neurologic symptoms that are often followed by fixed neurologic deficits, increasing disability, and medical, socioeconomic, and physical decline over a period of 30 to 40 years.For most of the 20th century, multiple sclerosis was considered untreatable. In 1982, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of the United States sponsored the first international workshop on therapeutic trials.2 This workshop served to usher in an era of activism and optimism . . .

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.
