“Unlike in the literature from the general population, however, the relationship between exercise and cognition in the neurodevelopmental population appears to be less clear, with studies on ASD samples focusing more on behavioural symptoms (e.g., Petrus et al. 2008;Sowa and Meulenbroek 2012) compared to ADHD studies that specifically examine EF (e.g., Chang et al. 2012b;Smith et al. 2013).”

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.
