Melatonin use is reported to be greater than the consumption of vitamin C tablets.
“Melatonin use is reported to be greater than the consumption of vitamin C tablets (Bonn, 1996).”

The opening passage (page not supplied) says that sales of melatonin in the USA exceed sales of vitamin C. This supports a comparison of sales, but the claim changes sales to use or consumption and omits the USA qualifier. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe use of exogenous melatonin is widespread in the general public.
“The use of exogenous melatonin is widespread in the general public.”

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.
