standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.| relation to other work | claim_relations | how this paper stands to another: agrees, contradicts, extends, qualifies |
| claim type | claim_type | the shape of the claim: existence, mechanism, method, critique, prediction, null |
| concept edge | concept_edges | an asserted relation between two concepts, with the sentence asserting it |
| concept | concepts | an idea the paper works with, quoted where the paper uses it |
| content tag | content_tags | a finding, definition, quantity, statistic or variable named in the paper |
| control | controls | an experiment run to eliminate a rival explanation |
| limitation | limitations | what the paper says its evidence cannot support |
| mechanism | mechanisms | how the reported effect is said to come about |
| method | method | how the paper produced its evidence |
| phenomenon | phenomenon | the effect or regularity under study |
| sense | senses | a distinct use of a term, quoted where the paper fixes it |
Relations on this page carry a quotation for the claim. Where a relation was separately evidenced — and so tested against the vocabulary for its type — the row says so; none of 1 relation here carry that mark. The rest are the tagger’s reading of the sentence quoted beside them.

The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the mechanistic model offered: OUR PROPOSAL, AS WELL AS THE MESOCIRCUIT MODEL OF DOC, ARE TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS APPROXIMATIONS THAT DO NOT TAKE INTO FULL ACCOUNT THE EXTENT OF CORTICOSUBCORTICAL CONNECTIVITY, TEMPORAL DYNAMICS | limitations[2] | the tagger's words | |

| limitations | The outcome analysed is a set of rotated components, not the clinical subscales themselves. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: any statement here relating a brain region to a clinical function: because of correlations between the CRS-R subscales and the effects of multicollinearity on regression, the authors performed a data reduction by principal component analysis with varimax rotation | limitations[5] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| limitations | One region entered the analysis on the strength of evidence from animal models. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution.

The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[0] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| senses | the clinical outcome - COMPONENTS, NOT SUBSCALES: the six CRS-R subscales are correlated, so a principal component analysis with varimax rotation was performed and the regression is run on the components; every later claim linking a region to a function is a claim about a component Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[1] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| senses | the basal forebrain's role - ESTABLISHED ELSEWHERE, MEASURED HERE: the paper reports its own negative association with sensory responsiveness and, in the next clause, that the region is well known to play a causal role in arousal and to induce a comalike state when extensively lesioned - the causal claim is inherited, the association is measured Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution.

What was deliberately not tagged, and why, is recorded per paper by the tagger. Where a paper has no such record, this page says so rather than implying that nothing was declined.
