How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The Aral Sea region has experienced severe environmental pollution, significantly affecting public health due to airborne pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Children in this region are particularly vulnerable, exhibiting higher rates of infections, including periodontal disease. This study investigates the extent of environmental pollution and the prevalence of periodontopathogenic microbial infections among children living near the Aral Sea.
