Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes related to the vitamin D pathway, such as the vitamin D receptor (VDR), vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), and enzymes like 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7), may affect the conversion, transport, and bioavailability of vitamin D (Bollen et al. 2023; Hyppönen et al. 2022; Krasniqi et al. 2021; Wang et al. 2010).”
From Vitamin D status and its determinants in German elite athletes (2025) · cites this paper as Bollen et al. 2023
In the citing paper
“The VDBP is located on the human chromosome 4 (Bollen et al. 2023; Yang et al. 1985) and is responsible for the binding and transport of all vitamin D metabolites.”

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.
