The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Iron deficiency during pregnancy leads to short- and long- term complications for the newborn, such as fetal growth restriction and low birth weight, increased risk of premature birth, predisposition to anemia in the first month of life, impairment of the immune system, deficits in cognitive and behavioral development, reduction in IQ (intelligent quotient), neurobehavioral disorders such as ADHD”

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.
