Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Direct evidence linking any specific EDC to a clearly defined clinical disorder involving the social brain is sparse, and no single chemical has yet been definitively implicated.

    “Direct evidence linking any specific EDC to a clearly defined clinical disorder involving the social brain is sparse, and no single chemical has yet been definitively implicated (18, 21–25).”
  • Single genetic anomalies account for only a small proportion of affected ASD cases.

    “Although ASD is considered one of the most heritable neurodevelopmental disorders [ 12 , 13 ], single genetic anomalies account for only a small proportion of affected cases [ 14 , 15 ].”

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.
