Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The study design cannot distinguish between such possibilities, which implies that the Flynn effect between two cohorts may differ with the age at which they are assessed.

    “The study design cannot distinguish between such possibilities, which also implies that the Flynn effect between two cohorts may differ with the age at which they are assessed (see the discussion in ref. 19)”

    From Flynn effect and its reversal are both environmentally caused (2018) · cites this paper as [19]

  • The observed secular trend may be limited to young people born in the same time and place as the study population, since previous studies suggest the secular trend varies across age and countries.

    “but the observed secular trend may be limited to young people born in the same time and place as our study population since previous studies have suggested that the secular trend of intelligence test scores vary across age and countries [4, 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.
