Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Iron (Fe), the fourth most abundant metal in the earth’s crust, is a transition metal essential for the growth of almost all living microorganisms [42].”
From A Review of Asbestos Bioweathering by Siderophore-Producing Pseudomonas: A Potential Strategy of Bioremediation (2020) · cites this paper as [42]
In the citing paper
“However, in aerobic circumneutral environments, Fe is poorly bioavailable due to its limited solubility and the slow dissolution kinetics of iron-bearing mineral phases [42,45].”

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.
