In the citing paper
“Moreover, the modest study finding aligns with the stage-environment fit theory, which suggests that adaptation is more likely if changes within the individual are matched with supportive change within the adolescent’s three primary environments: home, peer, and school [20,21,41].”
In the citing paper
“This theory posits that individuals progress through distinct developmental stages during their educational journey, each characterized by unique challenges and tasks.”

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.
