  • In obese patients, blood glucose levels are inversely associated with β-cell volume below a certain threshold.

    “Furthermore, studies of obese patients (including non-diabetic, prediabetic and diabetic groups) reported an inverse relationship between blood glucose levels and β-cell volume below a certain threshold [8], illustrating the importance of β-cell mass as a central factor determining insulin secretory capacity.”

    From Expansion of β-cell mass in response to pregnancy (2010) · cites this paper as [8]

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.
