  • Cardiac fibrosis is prominent in patients with myocardial infarction and in those with ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies.

    “cardiac fibrosis is prominent in patients who suffer a myocardial infarction (MI) and in those with ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies (ICM and NICM)5,6.”

    From Targeting immune–fibroblast cell communication in heart failure (2024) · cites this paper as [6]

    The imaging discussion says that ischaemia and infarction can lead to healing by fibrosis, supporting the MI portion of the claim. The passages on heart failure and cardiomyopathy do not say that fibrosis is prominent in ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies, and the paper does not establish how prominent fibrosis is among MI patients. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • In ancillary analyses using updated stroke and MI definitions, the effect of pioglitazone on the primary outcome was similar, with a hazard ratio of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.60 to 0.88).

    “In ancillary analyses, the effect of pioglitazone on the primary outcome was similar when stroke and myocardial infarction were defined according to updated criteria28,29 (hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.88).”

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.
