Figures

Figure 1 Post infection changes in the average body weight (A) and average anal temperature (B). Approximately 2.0×109 CFU of Y. pestis strain 2505 was injected subcutaneously into the groin of 18 great gerbils on day 0, and then observed for changes in body weight and anal temperature. The average body weight and anal temperature of the 18 animals were employed to represent the changing trends at different time points (days) post infection.

Figure 2 Gross anatomic changes in the liver and spleen of great gerbils (A) and guinea pigs (B). Approximately 7.4×1010 CFU of Y. pestis strain 2505 was injected subcutaneously into the groin of great gerbils, whereas around 5.0×104 CFU was injected subcutaneously into the groin of guinea pigs. The animals were dissected immediately after death on day 3 p.i. The abscesses are clearly seen on the surface of both the liver and spleen of guinea pigs, but no abscesses were observed on the corresponding organs of great gerbils.

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.
