Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Genetic studies have shown that carriage of PCSK9 loss-of-function alleles is associated with lower LDL cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of myocardial infarction.7,8”
From Evolocumab and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease (2017) · cites this paper as [8]
In the citing paper
“Indeed, individuals heterozygous for mutations that inactivate one copy of the PCSK9 gene have plasma LDL-cholesterol levels that are approximately 30% lower (which are similar to those induced by treatment with statins), and experience a 90% reduction in heart attacks, independently of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes (36).”
From Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet: Metabolic and Molecular Mechanisms (2018) · cites this paper as [36]

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.
