In Vivo Osteocyte Death
Abstract
Counts of the percentage of empty osteocyte lacunae were done on fresh, undecalcified bone sections of specimens from forty-five human subjects ranging in age from new-born infancy to eighty-four years. The average figures from arbitrary age groups suggest that an increasing percentage of bone dies with increasing age. At seventy years, 45 per cent of Haversian bone and 75 per cent of extra-Haversian bone have empty lacunae.

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.
