In the citing paper
“For instance, after a hypoxic dose of ∼1100 km h using either natural LHTH or simulated LHTL, swimming performance in 26 elite swimmers was unchanged or slightly impaired 1 day (0.4% ± 0.4%) and 7 days (−0.2% ± 0.7%) post‐camp, with no difference from pre‐camp levels at 14 days (−0.3% ± 0.8%) and 28 days (0.2% ± 0.9%) (Gough et al., 2012).”

In the citing paper
“Similar observations have been made in previous work on competitive swimmers, where improvements in performance following altitude exposure were small, non‐significant or transient, even with an increased Hbmass.”

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.
