Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“leucine is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body, and is responsible for muscle growth, strength and enhanced athletic performance [14, 52, 53].”
From Dietary Intake of Canadian Middle‐Aged Endurance Athletes (2025) · cites this paper as [52]
In the citing paper
“intake of leucine in the present cohort (M 99.3 ± 27.7 and F 92.7 ± 47.6 mg/kg/day) was above the 55 mg/kg/day recommended levels for those engaging in intensive training [14, 52] for most of the present cohort (M 89.3% [n = 25] v F 81.3% [n = 13]; p = 0.652).”

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.
