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

  • The dominant approach in contemporary medical science views depression through a biological model, focusing on physiological factors such as neurochemical imbalances, genetic predispositions, and brain-structure anomalies; common interventions include medication, positive-thinking activities, and social support.

    “The dominant approach in contemporary medical science views depression through the lens of a biological model, focusing on physiological factors such as neurochemical imbalances, genetic predispositions, and brain-structure anomalies; common interventions include medication (6, 7), positive-thinking activities (8), and social support (6, 8, 9).”
  • The clinical picture of current affective disorders involves a persistent depressed mood and/or diminished interest or pleasure in general.

    “These findings could possibly be explained by the fact that the clinical picture of the current affective disorders involves a persistent depressed mood and/or diminished interest or pleasure in general [17,18].”
  • Dysfunctional schemas/patterns play a major role in the development and maintenance of depression.

    “Those schemas/patterns play a major role in the development and maintenance of depression (8–10).”

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.
