Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“If these manipulations affect the reinforcement signal used in calculating prediction errors, it would short-circuit learning by suppressing cue-inconsistent prediction errors.”
From Social information creates self-fulfilling prophecies in judgments of pain, vicarious pain, and cognitive effort (2026) · cites this paper as [40]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“have the potential to significantly influence pain pathways by triggering physiological changes that could consequently affect not only pain perception but also pharmacological efficacy and clinical outcomes in the context of pain management.28”
From Nocebo and pain: an overview of the psychoneurobiological mechanisms (2017) · cites this paper as [28]
In the citing paper
“nocebo effects can be induced in different ways: with negative expectations891011, associative learning121314, partial conditioning15, social learning1617 and even without conscious awareness and direct learning18.”

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.
