In the citing paper
“In a subsequent human feeding study, healthy volunteers (both omnivore and vegan/vegetarian) that were orally supplemented with choline exhibited higher levels of TMAO and concomitant enhanced platelet responsiveness and aggregation77, 118.”
From Gut microbiota and cardiovascular disease. (2020) · cites this paper as [118]
In the citing paper
“The TMAO pathway is an excellent example of this, given the nutrient precursors are more abundant in a Western diet, and diets rich in phosphatidylcholine and carnitine are associated with heightened levels of TMAO, whereas vegetarian or vegan diets have reduced nutrient precursors111, 118.”
From Gut microbiota and cardiovascular disease. (2020) · cites this paper as [118]
In the citing paper
“It was observed that although blood lipid levels in the mice remained similar between all diet groups, TMAO was significantly elevated in the fish protein group.”
From Dietary metabolism, the gut microbiome, and heart failure (2019) · cites this paper as [166]
In the citing paper
“a recent study supplementing fish protein to a western diet in Apolipoprotein E−/− mice showed increases in atherosclerotic plaque area and calcification when compared to the matched soy or casein protein fed counterparts166.”

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.
