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

  • Both CD8+ and CD4+ Trm have been identified in human skin, lung, intestines, salivary glands, bone marrow, brain, spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes.

    “Both CD8+ and CD4+ Trm have been identified in the human skin, lung, intestines, salivary glands, bone marrow, brain, spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes [241, 244, 246, 253-259].”

    From Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in immunological studies (third edition) (2021) · cites this paper as [255]

    The Results section identifies both CD4+ and CD8+ resident memory T cells in human skin. The cited paper does not establish their presence in the other listed human tissues, so it supports the skin portion of the sentence but not the full list. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
