effectcheck: Statistical Consistency Checker for Published Research Results

A conservative, assumption-aware statistical consistency checker for already-extracted research-results text. Parses test statistics, effect sizes, and confidence intervals across multiple citation styles including American Psychological Association (APA), Harvard, Frontiers, PLOS ONE, Scientific Reports, Nature Human Behaviour, PeerJ, eLife, PNAS, and others. Recomputes effect sizes using all plausible variants when design is ambiguous, and validates internal consistency. Supports t-tests, F-tests/ANOVA, correlations, chi-square, z-tests, regression, and nonparametric tests. Explicitly tracks all assumptions and uncertainty in output. Detects decision errors (significance reversals) similar to 'statcheck'. From v0.4.0 file extraction is no longer part of the package — pair with an external extractor (e.g., docpluck at <https://docpluck.app>) and pass the resulting text to check_text(). Note: this package is under active development and results should be independently verified. Use is at the sole responsibility of the user. Contributions and verification reports are welcome.
