In the citing paper
“Research has demonstrated that adolescent females with a younger gynecological age are more prone to anovulation and shortened luteal phases.”
From Optimizing Performance Nutrition for Adolescent Athletes: A Review of Dietary Needs, Risks, and Practical Strategies (2025) · cites this paper as [14]
In the citing paper
“A study looking at a five-day period of reduced energy availability led to a significant decrease in luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse frequency in adolescents, but not in adults, emphasizing the heightened physiological sensitivity of adolescents to energy deficits [14].”

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.
