In the citing paper
“In contrast, high-G alginates form stiffer, more stable hydrogels due to enhanced ionic crosslinking, making them better suited for prolonged adhesion prevention [153,154].”
From Biomaterials in Postoperative Adhesion Barriers and Uterine Tissue Engineering (2025) · cites this paper as [153]
In the citing paper
“Chitosan exists in different structural forms, known as alpha (α-), beta (β-), and gamma (γ-), presenting unique properties that influence its suitability for anti-adhesion barrier applications [152,153]. These variants influence the polymer’s solubility, crystallinity, and overall functional properties.”

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.
