Dried whole-plant Artemisia annua slows evolution of malaria drug resistance and overcomes resistance to artemisinin
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Evolution of malaria parasite drug resistance has thwarted efforts to control this deadly disease. Use of drug combinations has been proposed to slow that evolution. Artemisinin is a favorite drug in the global war on malaria and is frequently used in combination therapies. Here we show that using the whole plant ( Artemisia annua ) from which artemisinin is derived can overcome parasite resistance and is actually more resilient to evolution of parasite resistance; i.e., parasites take longer to evolve resistance, thus increasing the effective life span of the therapy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Another reason for increasing the in planta artemisinin content is that dry leaf consumption of A. annua is showing efficacy in human trials (Daddy et al. 2017; Munyangi et al. 2019) and seems resilient against the evolution of artemisinin drug resistance as maybe shown in humans (Daddy et al. 2017) and in Plasmodium yoelii -infected mice (Elfawal et al. 2015).”

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.
