In the citing paper
“While girls generally start their growth spurt and attain PHV 2 years earlier than boys (~ 12 years for girls vs. ~ 14 years for boys), other factors such as ethnicity (e.g., individuals with European ancestry ~ 6 months younger skeletal age than chronologically matched individuals with Asian and African heritage [21]) may also influence the timing of growth.”

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.
