In the citing paper
“These findings align with studies on B. napus41, centipedegrass43, and rice50.”
From Synergistic modulation of antioxidant enzymes by citric acid and EDTA to enhance lead tolerance and phytoextraction efficiency in harmel (2025) · cites this paper as [41]
In the citing paper
“These trends align with findings in Brassica napus41, Typha latifolia42, centipedegrass43 and Iris halophila 44.”
From Synergistic modulation of antioxidant enzymes by citric acid and EDTA to enhance lead tolerance and phytoextraction efficiency in harmel (2025) · cites this paper as [41]
In the citing paper
“CA-treated plants exhibited greater biomass and reduced toxicity symptoms, attributable to CA’s lower phytotoxicity and biodegradability, which minimizes cellular stress compared to EDTA’s synthetic complexes41–44.”

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.
