PubMed record 37733863 as served on 2026-10-30, carrying the abstract, author list and dates of Science 381(6664):eadg7492; science.org refuses direct retrieval and no PMC copy exists. The publisher’s page, in a capture read by the cross-family check of 2026-10-30, gives online publication on 19 September 2023 and print on 22 September 2023; PubMed labels 22 September as the electronic date.

Check notes: Candidate pack passage, AI in biology (research/ai-in-biology). The quotation (21 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-30. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. Abstract text relayed by the PubMed record (PMID 37733863): the authors' own text, so primary; the journal expression was not read. No human editorial review.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An exact framework edition, or another document with an exact expression, states one provision: a capability threshold or risk level and its trigger, a required safeguard or action, a decision authority (who decides, recommends, can overrule or is informed), a stated exception, or another statement of its content, such as a licence term or a prospectus statement. The passage records what the document says, not implementation, compliance or effectiveness. Provisions with the same key align across editions of one family.

Date. Online publication date on the publisher’s page, in its capture of 22 September 2023 read by the cross-family machine check of 2026-10-30; the print issue is dated 22 September 2023, which the PubMed record cited here labels as the date of electronic publication. The two expressions disagree, and the disagreement is kept.
