In the citing paper
“Once metabolized into aloe-emodine-9-anthrone by intestinal bacteria, it increases intestinal motility and paracellular permeability through the inhibition of Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase in colonic mucosa cells, stimulates mucus secretion and the release of prostaglandin-like compounds in the colon [89].”

In the citing paper
“Other agents, including Aloe vera, flavonoids, St John’s wort, and ginger, exhibit mixed or inconsistent results, reflecting heterogeneity in study designs and underlying mechanisms.”

In the citing paper
“A meta-analysis of 151 patients with IBS showed that Aloe vera was effective and safe compared with placebo, improving IBS symptom scores (standardized mean difference, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.07–0.75; p = 0.020, with no difference in adverse events [75].”

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.
