Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
For medicine and science papers, although most citations are received within five years after publication, a paper could be cited 30+ years after publication.
“Lachance and Larivière (2014) mentioned that for medicine and science papers, although most of the citations were received within five years after publication, a paper could be cited 30+ years after publication.”
From Continued use of retracted papers: Temporal trends in citations and (lack of) awareness of retractions shown in citation contexts in biomedicine (2021) · cites this paper as Lachance and Larivière (2014)
The Conclusion (page unavailable) describes a typical citation profile that peaks two or three years after publication and then declines, while the Discussion follows citations through years 30–37. The Disciplinary differences section includes medicine and science, but no passage establishes that most citations to papers in those fields are received within five years. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
