Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“The unlikely direct relationship between education and cesarean section, diabetes, and obesity—and the fact that these factors are likely downstream mediators or post‐exposure variables rather than true confounders—means that adjusting for them would risk biasing our estimates of education's total effect.”

In the citing paper
“Literacy has a direct impact on health service utilization, directly influencing maternal outcomes such as maternal mortality, with a significant higher burden in lower income countries and regions, as well as for women with lower incomes across countries. 17”

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.
