Statistics

Figures

Figure 1 Endotoxin contamination in nanoparticles (NPs) induces inflammatory effects. (A) Endotoxin contamination in different nanomaterials evaluated by Limulus amebocyte lysate assay. (B) Gold (Au) NPs were deliberately contaminated with 1 µg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 1 h at room temperature and then thoroughly washed with endotoxin-free water to eliminate unbound LPS. Human primary monocytes were exposed to either endotoxin-free or endotoxin-coated Au NPs for 24 h. The production of interleukin (IL)-1β in the culture supernatants was measured by ELISA [data partially presented in the supporting material of Ref. (30)].

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.
