Fig 1 Claim specific citation network. Citations regarding claim that β amyloid precursor protein mRNA or protein, or β amyloid protein, is abnormally present in inclusion body myositis muscle. The network is organised according to paper category and year of publication. Authority status (yellow) was defined computationally by network theory. Many citations flow to supportive primary data but not critical data. Papers are represented as nodes (n=218) and citations as directed edges (supportive n=636, neutral n=18, critical n=21, diversion n=3). Twenty four papers contain statements pertaining to claim but do not make or receive citations about it (not shown)
