In the citing paper
“Although studies have long implicated TGFβ1 as the dominant fibrogenic driver, a recent study also implicates TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 as potent fibrogenic stimuli, but which lack the pro-inflammatory effects of TGFβ1 antagonism that have limited the latter’s appeal as a therapeutic target (147).”

In the citing paper
“TGFβ1 was the first, and remains the most potent fibrogenic stimulus towards HSCs and other tissue myofibroblasts, but as noted above, TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 merit consideration as safer therapeutic targets (147).”

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.
