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

Views on the role of extracellular neutrophilic traps in oncology vary greatly. On the one hand, there is evidence of the anticarcinogenic properties of neutrophil networks associated with the direct destruction of tumor cells and stimulation of the immune system. Cytotoxicity towards tumor cells is manifested by trap components (myeloperoxidase, proteinases and histones), while DNA strands are considered as a kind of tool for capturing tumor cells and limiting their further spread.
