In the citing paper
“This heterogeneity may be related to differences in the developmental trajectories of brain regions, sample composition, methodological approaches (e.g. the use of absolute vs. relative brain volumes), or because of unmeasured moderators such as those reported previously.36,37”

In the citing paper
“In addition to these converging main effects, two studies have reported that socioeconomic factors can moderate effects of other known predictors of brain structure.”

In the citing paper
“Three other studies which addressed socioeconomic status and perceived stress, however, did not find significant effects of perceived stress.33,36,50”

In the citing paper
“Once again using data from our eLABE sample, the effects of maternal cortisol production across pregnancy on neonatal amygdala volumes were moderated by prenatal social disadvantage, with a positive link between cortisol production and amygdala volume at low levels of social disadvantage and a negative association at high levels of social disadvantage.36”

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.
