Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The cited source doesn’t support the claim as written.
In the citing paper
“For example, the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, which are the most inclusive syncope guidelines, do not address the ED management.”
From Syncope clinical management in the emergency department: a consensus from the first international workshop on syncope risk stratification in the emergency department (2016) · cites this paper as [7]
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The updated versions of the guidelines highlight the use of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) and recommend their early use in the diagnostic work-up.”
From Use of an implantable loop recorder to increase the diagnostic yield in unexplained syncope: results from the PICTURE registry (2011) · cites this paper as [8]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The use of an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) is now strongly recommended by published practice guidelines for detecting infrequently, but clinically important symptoms [1].”
From Ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring devices for evaluating transient loss of consciousness or other related symptoms (2017) · cites this paper as [1]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“In the absence of associated jerky movements, the patient is likely to be referred for evaluation of syncope (30,229,524).”
From 2017 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Syncope (2017) · cites this paper as [30]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Moreover, only a few of the recommendations from international syncope guidelines deal with ED management. 6-8”
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Of these, only the latter would be the relevant pathophysiological category including BII phobia, with the focus on the emotional distress component eliciting the syncopal event.”
From The psychophysiology of blood-injection-injury phobia: Looking beyond the diphasic response paradigm (2010) · cites this paper as Moya et al., 2009
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Indeed, vasovagal syncope may be accompanied by prodromal symptoms of nausea, lightheadedness, or sweating (so-called “pre-syncopal” episodes), but this is not always the case (Moya et al., 2009).”
From The psychophysiology of blood-injection-injury phobia: Looking beyond the diphasic response paradigm (2010) · cites this paper as Moya et al., 2009
In the citing paper
“but its aetiology remains unknown.3–5”
From Antiadrenergic autoimmunity in postural tachycardia syndrome (2017) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“POTS-related syncope differs from classic vasovagal syncope (VVS), as the underlying symptoms are present constantly with occasional syncope associated with a preceding tachycardia and associated adrenergic symptoms. In contrast, VVS typically features episodic syncope and asymptomatic periods between attacks.1,4,7”
From Antiadrenergic autoimmunity in postural tachycardia syndrome (2017) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“A sensation of palpitation may stem from sinus tachycardia and/or increased cardiac contractility, both of which may have various causes: fever, anaemia, orthostatic hypotension, hyperthyroidism/ thyreotoxicosis, postmenopausal syndrome, pregnancy, hypoglycaemia, hypovolaemia, pheochromocytoma, arteriovenous fistula, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, among others.31 -39”

“However, if HR exceeds 120–130 bpm during orthostatic stress, cardiac output (CO) becomes progressively compromised234.”
From Sinus Tachycardia: a Multidisciplinary Expert Focused Review (2022) · cites this paper as [234]
In the citing paper
“Another group of younger patients with IST caused by abnormalities of the If channel is tachycardic at rest which remains or increases due to sympathetic activation when upright.234.”

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.
