Abstract

Alcohol consumption is customary in most cultures and alcohol abuse is common worldwide. For example, more than 50% of Americans consume alcohol, with an estimated 23.1% of Americans participating in heavy and/or binge drinking at least once a month. A safe and effective therapy for alcoholic liver disease (ALD) in humans is still elusive, despite significant advances in our understanding of how the disease is initiated and progresses. It is now clear that acute alcohol binges not only can be acutely toxic to the liver, but also can contribute to the chronicity of ALD. Potential mechanisms by which acute alcohol causes damage include steatosis, dysregulated immunity and inflammation, and altered gut permeability. Recent interest in modeling acute alcohol exposure has yielded new insights into potential mechanisms of acute injury, which also may well be relevant for chronic ALD. Recent work by this group on the role of PAI-1 and fibrin metabolism in mediating acute alcohol-induced liver damage serve as an example of possible new targets that may be useful for alcohol abuse, be it acute or chronic.

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

  • Alcohol and paracetamol damage pericentral hepatocytes and are responsible for the majority of fatal acute liver injury cases.

    “Examples include alcohol148 and paracetamol,149 which damage pericentral hepatocytes and are responsible for the majority of fatal acute liver injury cases.”

    From Distinct hepatocyte identities in liver homeostasis and regeneration (2023) · cites this paper as [148]

    The Introduction identifies the liver as a major target of alcohol-induced injury, and the Summary describes how acute alcohol exposure can cause inflammatory liver damage. Neither passage specifies pericentral hepatocytes or says alcohol accounts for a majority of fatal acute liver injury cases. Citation 148 is attached to alcohol, not paracetamol. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
