Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“It is not necessary to model orbital parameters for the TOMS dataset because the data are direct readings and automatically compensate for orbital effects, something that latitude studies do not (65).”
From Human skin pigmentation as an adaptation to UV radiation (2010) · cites this paper as [65]
In the citing paper
“The well-known correlation between skin pigmentation and distance from the equator (Relethford 1997) strongly suggests that natural selection in response to environmental factors played a major role in the geospatial patterning of human skin pigmentation variation.”
From The timing of pigmentation lightening in Europeans (2013) · cites this paper as Relethford 1997

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
