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

  • A meta-analysis of 136 published case reports showed lower in-hospital mortality in eosinophilic myocarditis patients treated with corticosteroids.

    “based on a meta-analysis of 136 published case reports that showed lower in-­ hospital mortality in patients treated with corticosteroids.”

    From Autoimmune Myocarditis, Old Dogs and New Tricks. (2024) · cites this paper as [264]

    The Myocarditis recommendations (p. e235) address arrhythmia management, not corticosteroid outcomes in eosinophilic myocarditis. Searches for the 136 case reports and for corticosteroid-related mortality found no passage in our copy reporting the claimed meta-analysis. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
