Figures

Figure 1 Reduced prevalence of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) among diabetic individuals. Prevalence of filarial infection in diabetic (DM-ND-Newly diagnosed and KDM-Known diabetic) and non-diabetic (NGT-Normal glucose tolerance and IGT-Impaired glucose tolerance) subjects was estimated (Panel a). The percentage of LF positive individuals in each group is shown. Statistical difference in the prevalence was determined by chi-square analysis. Filarial antigen levels in diabetic (DM-ND-Newly diagnosed and KDM-Known diabetic) and non-diabetic (NGT-Normal glucose tolerance and IGT-Impaired glucose tolerance) subjects with active filarial infection (Panel b). Statistical differences in the antigenic load were determined by Mann-Whitney U test.

Figure 2 Anti-filarial antibody levels in diabetic (DM-ND-Newly diagnosed and KDM-Known diabetic) and non-diabetic (NGT-Normal glucose tolerance and IGT-Impaired glucose tolerance) subjects with active filarial infection. Box and whisker plots of the log transformed levels of IgG (Panel a) and IgG4 (Panel b) are shown for each of the four groups. NS = Not significant. Statistical differences in the antibody titer were determined by Mann-Whitney U test.

Figure 3 Pro- and anti - inflammatory serum cytokine levels in control (DM−LF−), diabetes alone (DM+LF−) and diabetes and LF (DM+LF+) subjects. Serum levels of TNF-α (Panel a), IL-6 (Panel b), GM-CSF (Panel c), IFN-γ (Panel d), IL-13 (Panel e), TGF-β (Panel f) and IL-10 (Panel g) are shown. Each dot represents an individual patient, with the geometric mean represented by the horizontal bars. p values were calculated by multinomial logistic regression analysis.

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.
