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

  • People with DS present increased IFN signaling likely driven by triplication of four of the six IFN receptors encoded on HSA21, rather than by massive elevation of IFN ligands, and this has been associated with chronic immune dysregulation.

    “people with DS present an increased IFN signaling likely driven by triplication of four of the six IFN receptors encoded on HSA21,36 rather than by massive elevation of the IFN ligands themselves as seen in interferonopathies,80 and this has been associated with chronic immune dysregulation.”

    From Interferon signaling modulates Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer’s disease pathology in a mouse model (2025) · cites this paper as [86]

    The Results section on naïve CD4+ T cells says IFN signaling is enhanced in Down syndrome because of overexpression of chromosome 21-encoded IFN receptor subunits, and reports elevated pSTAT1 in DS T cells. It does not specify that four of six IFN receptors are encoded on chromosome 21. The ligand comparison is attached to a different citation in the citing sentence and is not assessed against this paper. (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.
