Paul Ehrlich's Magic Bullets
Abstract
March 14, 2004, marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Paul Ehrlich, one of the generation of pioneers who, during the 50 years that led up to World War I, laid the foundation of modern medicine. Pasteur, Röntgen, Curie, Koch, Freud, and Lister were his contemporaries in this company of trailblazers.Ehrlich's prodigious talents in the laboratory — he was called a virtuoso of test tubes — were matched by a combination of intuition and deduction that marked him as a genius. He was the father of hematology, a revolutionary immunologist, and the creator of the field of chemotherapy. . . .

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.
