  • While estimating the cost of cancer treatment, both the health system cost as well as OOP expenditure was estimated following standard methodologies and based on data collected from one of the largest tertiary care public sector hospital located in India.

    “While estimating the cost of cancer treatment, both the health system cost as well as OOP expenditure was estimated following standard methodologies [37, 40, 50] and based on data collected from one of the largest tertiary care public sector hospital located in India.”

    From Cost effectiveness of strategies for cervical cancer prevention in India (2020) · cites this paper as [50]

    In “Dorothy P Rice” (page unavailable), Rice describes cost-of-illness methods that separate direct costs and disaggregate medical costs by source of payment. This supports the general methodological citation, but the paper does not specify a method for jointly estimating health-system costs and out-of-pocket expenditure for cancer treatment. The hospital data are the citing authors’ own description, not a claim attributed to Rice. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
