Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Master athletes experience a progressive decline in physiological capacity, primarily driven by reductions in VO2max, maximal heart rate, stroke volume, and skeletal muscle mass.”
From Ageing, Sex Differences, and REDs Risk in Endurance Runners: An Integrated Cross-Sectional Study Protocol (2026) · cites this paper as [7]
In the citing paper
“After approximately 70 years of age, the rate of performance decline accelerates, exceeding 1.3% per year in both sexes.”
From Ageing, Sex Differences, and REDs Risk in Endurance Runners: An Integrated Cross-Sectional Study Protocol (2026) · cites this paper as [7]
In the citing paper
“While older male runners generally retain higher absolute performance levels, they often exhibit steeper relative declines compared with female runners, suggesting that ageing may partially attenuate sex-based performance differences, particularly in long-duration endurance events [5,7,8].”

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.
