In previous studies, survivors emphasized delivering content in different formats and adding graphical displays of self-reports, and BCSs stressed developing a my progress page to display completed content and chart anxiety scores to facilitate tracking progress.
“In a previous study by Igelström et al [71], the importance of delivering content in different formats and adding a graphical display of self-reports was emphasized by participant survivors. In another study by Wagner et al [72], BCSs stressed the importance of developing a my progress page to display didactic content and tools that had been completed and chart anxiety scores to facilitate”

The citing sentence does not identify what “these findings” are, so there is no specific result to compare with the source. The source’s Results and Conclusions describe breast cancer survivors’ feedback on FoRtitude, but without the missing referent, our copy cannot establish whether that feedback corroborates the citing paper’s findings.

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.
