Abstract

leaflets for patients, Smith emphasised the time it takes to produce clear, unambiguous material that patients will use.20 In addition to following validated quality criteria, writers should take patients' information needs into account and be aware of how people will read what they have written.21 22 This will require involving patients in developing and testing materials.10 Before embarking on this lengthy process, however, a first step is to check if high quality information already exists.

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.
