AI Verified The PLOS Medicine article contains the stored sentence; author corrected from individual coauthors to the article title. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 3mo ago
Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the PLOS Medicine article’s abstract/conclusions, and the article was published on 2021-02-09 at the provided URL. But the source is a multi-author paper—Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang—and the text is presented as the paper’s wording, not as a statement by Yu Zhang alone. Under this platform’s rules, that makes the stored single-author attribution disputed.
