Such a system would permit comparisons between series of cases, show prognostic differences between different categories, and provide a framework of reference for persons working in different biological disciplines who use material from patients with leukemia.In the last 7 years the FAB proposals have been accepted by many groups involved in cooperative clinical trials with both acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic...References1.

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.
