    “the Toronto group in a mere 9 months successfully isolated insulin from the pancreas.”
  • Banting and Macleod were awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

    “Ultimately Banting and Macleod were awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, with Banting sharing his portion of the award with Best, and Macleod doing the same with Collip4,18.”
  • The Toronto group proved that pancreatic extract regulated blood glucose levels and urinary glucose excretion by reinjecting it into pancreatectomized dogs, keeping Marjorie alive for more than 70 days.

    “They would go on to prove that the pancreatic extract regulated blood glucose levels and urinary glucose excretion by reinjecting it into pancreatectomized dogs, while keeping the longest living of these dogs, Marjorie, alive for more than 70 days.”

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.
