Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“DH occurs when EFL is acutely worsened during bronchospasm or exacerbation, often in the setting of increased ventilation ( _ VE) due to increased chemostimulation and respiratory neural drive [5].”
From Lung hyperinflation in COPD: applying physiology to clinical practice (2015) · cites this paper as [5]
In the citing paper
“Moreover, subjective fear, anxiety or overt panic related to distressing dyspnea, with attendant increased sympathetic nervous system activation, also powerfully influence breathing pattern to worsen DH and perceived respiratory discomfort [5].”
From Lung hyperinflation in COPD: applying physiology to clinical practice (2015) · cites this paper as [5]
In the citing paper
“During AECOPD, the mechanical output of the flowlimited and hyperinflated respiratory system may not increase in proportion to increasing respiratory neural drive, resulting in critical neuromechanical dissociation of the respiratory system which may explain the worsening dyspnea [5,6].”
From Lung hyperinflation in COPD: applying physiology to clinical practice (2015) · cites this paper as [5]
In the citing paper
“During AECOPD, airway resistance is abruptly increased due to a combination of bronchospasm, mucosal edema and sputum inspissation; which worsens expiratory flow limitation and compromises effective lung emptying [5].”
From Lung hyperinflation in COPD: applying physiology to clinical practice (2015) · cites this paper as [5]
In the citing paper
“However, patients with COPD, especially those with more severe airway obstruction, are more likely to have significant baseline abnormalities of both lung mechanics and pulmonary gas exchange [5] (Fig. 4).”

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.
