Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Scientists and social scientists caution against 'blaming the mother' or framing pregnant bodies as responsible and in control of epigenetic changes.

    “Furthermore, scientists and social scientists caution against “blaming the mother” or framing pregnant bodies as responsible and in control of epigenetic changes (Richardson et al. 2014; Sharp, Lawlor, and Richardson 2018).”
  • Epigenetic science states that pregnant people cannot control epigenetic modifications in utero.

    “even though epigenetic science states clearly that pregnant people cannot control epigenetic modifications in utero (Richardson et al. 2014).”

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.
