The inability to palpate or acquire certain physical signs without advanced equipment can impede diagnostic judgment due to missed details.
“The inability to palpate or acquire certain physical signs without advanced equipment can impede diagnostic judgment due to missed details [238,239].”
From Toward Safer Diagnoses: A SEIPS-Based Narrative Review of Diagnostic Errors (2026) · cites this paper as [238]
The body text (indexed under “Keywords”; article pp. 360–361) says remote observation can miss signs needed to distinguish active synovitis from burnt-out disease and to recognize other conditions. It supports the diagnostic concern, but does not discuss whether advanced equipment would enable those signs to be acquired. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
