Cortisone in Ulcerative Colitis
Open accessAbstract
There are conflicting reports of the value of cortico- trophin (A.C.T.H.) and cortisone in non-specific ulcera- tive colitis.The disease is so variable in its severity and course that a large-scale trial in which cortisone-treated and control groups are compared has been carried out to decide the issue.This therapeutic trial originally began in the Oxford region in March, 1952, with the help of the Medical Research Council, who agreed to supply cortisone.However, physicians in other regions were interested in the same subject, and the outcome was that four other regions arranged to take part in the trial, working to the same plan as had been evolved for the Oxford region.The other regions concerned were Leeds, North-west London, Birmingham, and Edinburgh.

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.
