Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ADA Workgroup on Hypoglycemia recommended that persons with drug-treated diabetes become concerned about developing hypoglycemia at a plasma glucose concentration of 70 mg/dl or less.

    “The ADA Workgroup on Hypoglycemia recommended that persons with drug-treated diabetes become concerned about developing hypoglycemia at a plasma glucose concentration of 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/liter) or less (136).”
  • The ADA Workgroup proposed that any blood glucose value at or below 3.9 mmol/l should represent hypoglycaemia, whether or not symptoms are present.

    “The one contentious issue is their proposal that any blood glucose value equal to, or below, 3.9 mmol/l (70 mg/dl) should represent hypoglycaemia, whether or not symptoms are present.”

    From Defining hypoglycaemia: what level has clinical relevance? (2009) · cites this paper as [2]

  • The glucose threshold for hypoglycemia was 3.9 mmol/l, based on the American Diabetes Association Workgroup on Hypoglycemia consensus recommendation.

    “We based the glucose threshold on the consensus recommendation defined by the American Diabetes Association Workgroup on Hypoglycemia [16].”

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.
