Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“The balance of omega‐6 to omega‐3 is important to optimize performance and recovery; typical Western diets have excess omega‐6 and are deficient in omega‐3 resulting in an increased ratio of omega‐6 to omega‐3 that promotes an inflammatory environment [51].”
From Dietary Intake of Canadian Middle‐Aged Endurance Athletes (2025) · cites this paper as [51]
In the citing paper
“The ratio in the present study was 9.5 ± 6.9:1, higher than the ideal ratio of 4:1, but less than the reported typical Western diet ratio of 15:1–16.7:1 [51].”

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.
