In the citing paper
“Schoenfeld and Aragon [88] proposed that MPS (and in turn, muscle hypertrophy) is maximized via protein dosed at 0.4–0.55 g/kg per meal over the course of at least 4 meals to a total of 1.6–2.2 g/kg/day.”
From International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: diets for body weight reduction (2026) · cites this paper as [88]
In the citing paper
“Young athletes should focus on distributing their protein intake throughout the day instead of consuming large amounts in one meal (Morton et al., 2018;Schoenfeld & Aragon, 2018).”
From Protein intake in adolescent athletes: Nutritional requirements and performance implications (2025) · cites this paper as Schoenfeld & Aragon, 2018

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.
