In the citing paper
“Moreover, the credibility of cross-country comparisons is limited by the fact that in the late 1800s (when the first midwife laws were introduced in the United States) through the early 1900s, maternal mortality was not coded in a uniform fashion across countries (Loudon 1999).”

In the citing paper
“As noted above, during the period under study, many states used a broad definition of maternal mortality that included women who died in pregnancy, during labor, and up to 42 days after delivery because of infectious diseases such as influenza and tuberculosis(Loudon 1999).”

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.
