In the citing paper
“Although it is more elaborate and requires endocrinological expertise, the corticotropin stimulation test is a superior diagnostic test with a higher degree of sensitivity and specificity than determination of morning cortisol and ACTH concentrations and is therefore preferred in all patients considered with the differential diagnosis of PAI (28,38).”

In the citing paper
“This threshold is based on older serum cortisol assays.”
From New Cutoffs for the Biochemical Diagnosis of Adrenal Insufficiency after ACTH Stimulation using Specific Cortisol Assays (2021) · cites this paper as [11]
In the citing paper
“As with any endocrine test, no absolute cortisol cutoff for the ACTH stimulation test is perfect for the diagnosis of AI [4, 7, 11, 12].”

In the citing paper
“Varying cutoffs for basal cortisol levels have been suggested to predict AI [11, 17-19, 41].”

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.
