Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Citric acid has been proposed as a natural chelation acid because it is readily broken down by microbes, giving it short soil persistence and reducing the risk of metal leaching into groundwater [31].”
From Evaluation of Chelating Agents Used in Phytoextraction by Switchgrass of Lead Contaminated Soil (2022) · cites this paper as [31]
In the citing paper
“Alternative chelates to EDTA have included citric acid (C6H8O7) a natural low molecular weight organic acid that has been used effectively at enhancing Pb phytoextraction [31,32].”
From Evaluation of Chelating Agents Used in Phytoextraction by Switchgrass of Lead Contaminated Soil (2022) · cites this paper as [31]
In the citing paper
“Citric acid does require multiple applications to effectively reach and maintain the ideal soil acidity (pH 4.0–4.5) to keep Pb available for plant uptake over an extended period [31,32].”

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.
