In the citing paper
“Although such studies cannot establish a mechanism directly, they have been interpreted as consistent with the hypothesis that cumulative exposure to the U.S. racialized social environment may have intergenerational consequences for neonatal birthweight; however, these observational data cannot exclude other contextual differences between sending and receiving countries.16,17”

In the citing paper
“In Illinois, foreign-born Black women, many of whom immigrated from West Africa, predominantly Nigeria and Ghana, delivered infants with birthweights comparable to those of white women, whereas their U.S.-born daughters subsequently delivered lowerbirthweight infants of their own.”

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.
