Abstract

To the Editor: The risk of type 1 diabetes among the monozygotic twins of patients with type 1 diabetes is reported to be as low as 30%; this percentage is usually based on the ascertainment of dat...

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Type 1 diabetes is a heritable polygenic disease with identical twin concordance of 30-70%, sibling risk of 6-7%, and a risk of 1-9% for children who have a parent with diabetes.

  • In the US, individuals with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes have a 1 in 20 lifetime risk of developing type 1 diabetes, compared with a 1 in 300 lifetime risk in the general population.

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.
