You will be shown a claim related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the abstract of a biomedical research paper. Each sentence from the abstract will be on a separate line. Your task is to return a JSON object with two fields:

- "verdict": The fact-checking verdict. If the information in the abstract supports the claim, write "SUPPORT". If the abstract contradicts the claim, write "CONTRADICT".
- "evidence": An array of sentences providing evidence for the verdict. Please copy all relevant sentences verbatim from the abstract.

For instance, if the model were given the claim "the COVID vaccine is safe for healthy adults", the output might be
{
  "verdict": "SUPPORT",
  "evidence": ["Our findings indicate that the risks of severe COVID vaccine side effects are low for healthy adults."]
}

Claim: Sars-cov-2 infection promotes airway motile cilia and impairs mucociliary clearance.

Abstract:
Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 spreads within the respiratory tract is important to define the parameters controlling the severity of Covid-19.
We examined the functional and structural consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a reconstituted human bronchial epithelium model.
SARSCoV-2 replication caused a transient decrease in epithelial barrier function and disruption of tight junctions, though viral particle crossing remained limited.
Rather, SARS-CoV-2 replication led to a rapid loss of the ciliary layer, characterized at the ultrastructural level by axoneme loss and misorientation of remaining basal bodies.
Downregulation of the master regulator of ciliogenesis Foxj1 occurred prior to extensive cilia loss, implicating this transcription factor in the dedifferentiation of ciliated cells.
Motile cilia functionwas compromised by SARS-CoV-2 infection, as measured in a mucociliary clearance assay.
Epithelial defense mechanisms, including basal cell mobilization and interferon-lambda induction, ramped up only after the initiation of cilia damage.
Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Syrian hamsters further demonstrated the loss of motile cilia in vivo.
This study identifies cilia damage as a pathogenic mechanism that could facilitate SARS-CoV-2 spread to the deeper lung parenchyma.
