In the citing paper
“Previous studies were limited by the absence of a control group [14] or discipline-specific comparisons [10, 22], recruitment of middle-aged athletes [13] or focussed on distal or less fracture-prone regions rather than hip and spine [12, 13, 22].”
From Hip and spine bone mineral density are greater in master sprinters, but not endurance runners compared with non-athletic controls (2018) · cites this paper as [22]

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.
