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?

  • A weight loss of 5%-10% reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.

    “A weight loss of 5%-10% has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.12”

    From Diet in the management of weight loss (2006) · cites this paper as [12]

    In “Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight—General Principles” (page not provided), the guidelines say that 5%–10% weight reduction can reduce risk factors for heart disease and stroke. The cited passage does not establish that this amount of weight loss has been shown to reduce the risk of the diseases themselves. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The potential negative effects of high-carbohydrate diets on triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels may be attenuated if monounsaturated fats replace carbohydrates or if the diets are high in fibre and have a low glycemic index.

    “The potential negative effects of high-carbohydrate diets on triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels may be attenuated if monounsaturated fats replace carbohydrates 12,32,36 or if the diets are high in fibre and have a low glycemic index, 12,[37][38][39][40] although this remains controversial in the treatment of obesity.41,42”

    From Diet in the management of weight loss (2006) · cites this paper as [12]

    In “Limit the intake of foods high in cholesterol” (page unavailable), the guidelines say that high-carbohydrate diets can raise triglycerides and lower HDL cholesterol, and that high-fiber diets may lessen these changes. “High Unsaturated Fat Diets” (page unavailable) says unsaturated fat can prevent or attenuate the same changes. The discussion of glycemic indexing concerns blood-glucose levels, not whether a low glycemic index attenuates the triglyceride and HDL effects. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Low-carbohydrate diets are usually low in fruits and vegetables, dairy products and whole grains; these dietary patterns, if maintained over the long term, are associated with an increased risk of a variety of chronic diseases, including hypertension and cancer.

    “Overall, low-carbohydrate diets are usually low in fruits and vegetables, dairy products and whole grains; these dietary patterns, if maintained over the long term, are associated with an increased risk of a variety of chronic diseases, including hypertension and cancer.12,16,68”

    Split into 2 atoms — 1 confirmed, 1 partially supported, 0 disputed, 0 misattributed, 0 unverifiable. Expand the claim to see per-atom verdicts.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Saturated-fat intake on low-carbohydrate diets is high, representing 17% of total energy intake, almost double current recommendations of major health organizations.

    “Furthermore, saturated-fat intake on low-carbohydrate diets is high, 58 representing 17% of total energy intake, which is almost double the current recommendations of major health organizations.12,18”

    From Diet in the management of weight loss (2006) · cites this paper as [12]

  • Saturated fats are associated with increased levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a risk factor for coronary artery disease.

    “Saturated fats are associated with increased levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a risk factor for coronary artery disease.12,15”

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.
