In the citing paper
“Thus, on the basis of the separate as well as combined analyses, perceived procedural justice mediated the effect of service recovery voice on overall satisfaction.”
From Recovery Voice and Satisfaction After Service Failure: An Experimental Investigation of Mediating and Moderating Factors (2007) · cites this paper as Sobel (1982)
In the citing paper
“Bootstrapping provides a more accurate and generally more sensitive test for assessing the magnitude of indirect (path a×b) effects than the Sobel test [107], which assumes a normal distribution of path a×b estimates.”

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.
