In the citing paper
“Somehow disappointing was that attention bias modification for social anxiety disorder did not work as well as we had hoped [Carlbring et al., 2012], and other researchers found the same [Boettcher et al., 2012].”
From Internet-based treatments - Experiences from Sweden (2013) · cites this paper as Boettcher et al., 2012
In the citing paper
“The absence of (social) stress with online training at home compared to lab studies might explain recent null findings (Boettcher, Berger, & Renneberg, 2012;Boettcher et al., 2013;Kuckertz et al., 2014).”

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.
