In the citing paper
“At the extreme, two individuals can meet criteria for a diagnosis of major depressive disorder without sharing any single symptom. 7”
From Time for united action on depression: a Lancet–World Psychiatric Association Commission (2022) · cites this paper as [7]
In the citing paper
“Revisiting the hypothesis of Taylor and colleagues (46), one potential reason why model personalisation may provide benefits over “traditional” machine learning methods is because this allows to deal with heterogeneity, a feature that is characteristic both of depression and the way patients respond to treatment (83, 84).”
From Personalised depression forecasting using mobile sensor data and ecological momentary assessment (2022) · cites this paper as [83]
In the citing paper
“Despite its medical importance MDD is poorly defined and diagnosed since its diagnosis is mostly based on data subjectively reported by the patients themselves (13–15) and lack of objective, clinically relevant outcome measure.”
From A narrative review of digital biomarkers in the management of major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant forms (2023) · cites this paper as [13]

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.
