In the United States, food-borne outbreaks between 2009 and 2015 were caused by norovirus in most cases, followed by Salmonella.
“In the United States, food-borne outbreaks were caused by norovirus in most cases, followed by Salmonella, between 2009 and 2015 [2].”
From Guideline for the Antibiotic Use in Acute Gastroenteritis (2019) · cites this paper as [2]
The Etiologic Agents section reports that norovirus was the leading cause among outbreaks with a single confirmed etiology (1,130; 38%), followed by Salmonella (896; 30%). This supports the ranking for 2009–2015, but not the claim that norovirus caused outbreaks “in most cases”: 38% is not a majority, and the figures cover only outbreaks with a single confirmed etiology. (LLM, conf=0.89)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWater can cause infectious diseases directly through consumption or indirectly through contamination of food or dishes.
“Water can cause infectious diseases directly through consumption or indirectly through contamination of food or dishes [2].”
From Guideline for the Antibiotic Use in Acute Gastroenteritis (2019) · cites this paper as [2]
The Methods section mentions waterborne outbreaks only as a separate reporting category, while the Discussion describes contamination of foods without identifying water as its source. Searches for drinking water and contamination of food or dishes found no passage addressing the claimed direct and indirect routes. (LLM, conf=0.77)

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.
