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

  • Strategies that reverse EMT and co-target FGFR and IGFR signaling could re-sensitize EMT-induced cells to KRAS and MEK inhibitors.

    “Strategies that reverse the EMT transcriptional program, as well as co-targeting FGFR and IGFR signaling in EMT-induced cells could re-sensitize them towards KRAS and MEK inhibitors (46, 47)”

  • In mesenchymal-like KRAS-mutant lung cancer cells, ZEB1 directly represses IL17RD to mediate resistance to MEK inhibitors.

    “in mesenchymal-like KRAS-mutant lung cancer cells, ZEB1 directly represses IL17RD to mediate the resistance to MEK inhibitors.”

  • MAPK dependency is dictated by the functional interplay between IL17RD and ZEB1.

    “Mechanistic results indicated that MAPK dependency is dictated by the functional interplay between scaffold protein interleukin-17 receptor D (IL17RD) and ZEB1.”

  • ZEB1 suppression by miR-200 expression or mocetinostat re-sensitized mesenchymal cells to MEK inhibition and markedly reduced in vivo tumor growth.

    “ZEB1 suppression by miR-200 expression or histone deacetylase inhibitor (mocetinostat) re-sensitized mesenchymal cells to MEK inhibition and markedly reduced in vivo tumor growth.”

  • Peng et al. identified an inverse correlation between MAPK signaling dependency and ZEB1-mediated EMT in patient samples harboring KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS mutations.

    “Peng et al. identified an inverse correlation between MAPK signaling dependency and a zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1)–mediated EMT in patient samples harboring KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS mutations.”

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.
