Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“master cyclists have a higher incidence of osteopenia and lower hip and spine BMD than non-athletic controls [11].”
From Hip and spine bone mineral density are greater in master sprinters, but not endurance runners compared with non-athletic controls (2018) · cites this paper as [11]
In the citing paper
“it is well known that bone responses depend on the type of physical activity being performed (Nichols et al., 2003; Velez et al., 2008; Wilks et al., 2009a; Piasecki J. et al., 2018; Pollock et al., 2018)”

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.
