“Similarly, the drug of choice may increase the frequency of injection and thereby the risk of infection; for example, IDUs injecting cocaine may inject more than 20 times per day [14,15].”

“Therefore, presenting for treatment earlier and avoiding complications of skin and soft tissue infections could result in substantial healthcare savings, as demonstrated through the creation of specialty clinics serving PWID (Harris and Young, 2002; Tookes et al., 2015).”

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.
