Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Several health organizations and healthcare professionals have raised growing concerns about the clinical accuracy of pulse oximetry in dark-skinned patients, particularly in detecting occult hypoxemia.

    “Due to this increasing evidence, several health organizations and healthcare professionals have raised growing concerns about the clinical accuracy of pulse oximetry in dark-skinned patients [20,57,58,59,60,61], particularly in detecting occult hypoxemia [54,55].”
  • The main reason for the upsurge of publications in 2021 may be attributed to the increase of pulse oximetry for triage in patients because of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent concern about accuracy across all skin types.

    “The main reason for this surge may be attributed to the increase of this technique for triage in patients because of the current COVID-19 pandemic [12,13,14,15,16,17], and also because of the recent concern about the accuracy of these devices across all skin types [20,57,58,59,60,61].”

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.
