Abstract

Attempts to define concepts and things date back to the time of Aristotle, around 2,400 years ago, when he proposed that a definition should state the essential nature or being of something (1). However, this abstract concept (2–4) may not translate well to medical practice, where precise definitions are needed to communicate to colleagues and patients and to conduct epidemiological, clinical, translational, and discovery research in the presence of new evidence brought about by scientific progress. Since Aristotle’s initial discussions, the last 24 centuries have witnessed the appearance and evolution of definitions of many things that surround us, including diseases (5). In medicine, accurate and precise definitions (nosology) and classification of diseases (taxonomy) allow thinking, speaking, and writing about observable phenomena in an understandable and unified way.

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.
