In the citing paper
“These clocks were highly accurate in predicting the chronological age of new samples and also showed some capacity for predicting differences in mortality risk, although effect sizes tend to be small and inconsistent across studies56–58.”
From Effect of long-term caloric restriction on DNA methylation measures of biological aging in healthy adults from the CALERIE trial (2023) · cites this paper as [58]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“These hypotheses have been supported by observations that individuals with positive age gaps, termed age acceleration, are at greater risk of mortality and some diseases of ageing such as heart disease, metabolic syndrome and certain cancers46–50.”
From Measuring biological age using omics data (2022) · cites this paper as [46]
In the citing paper
“However, mortality risk, which is widely used as a measure of ‘global’ biological age, has shown an overall weak and variable association with these clocks46,58, which raises questions as to what biology they actually measure.”

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.
