Abstract

In a family of nine members, two had systemic lupus erythematosus and seven positive serological test results for syphilis. None of the affected subjects had a history or physical signs of syphilis, but two had positive results to the Treponema pallidum immobilisation test. The explanation for these findings is not known, but possibily they were all false-positive reactions.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Antibodies targeting mitochondrial components other than mtDNA, including anti-cardiolipin, anti-HSP60, AMA-M3, and AMA-M5, are found in SLE.

    “Antibodies targeting mitochondrial components other than mtDNA are also found in SLE. They include anti-cardiolipin [AMA-M1, also known as anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA)], anti-60kDa heat shock protein (anti-HSP60), as well as AMA-M3 and AMA-M5 antibodies.”

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.
