  • Probiotics could boost immune system activity by direct cross-talk with immune cells and/or reduction of intestinal permeability, a proposed mechanism behind the beneficial effect of probiotics on respiratory tract infections.

    “Moreover, probiotics could boost immune system activity by direct cross-talk with immune cells and/or reduction of intestinal permeability, which has been proposed as one of the mechanisms behind the beneficial effect of probiotics on respiratory tract infections (Baud et al., 2020).”

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.
