AI Verified The PLOS Medicine article contains the stored sentence; author corrected from individual coauthors to the article title. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 1mo ago
Disputed The quote is real and appears verbatim in the PLOS Medicine article’s Conclusions, and the source URL contains it. However, the article is attributed to multiple individual authors—Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang—so the source does not attribute this sentence to Jingjing Jiao alone. Under this platform’s rules, that makes the stored single-author attribution disputable.
