Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“In fact, studies have shown that students may pose various types of problems, from nonmathematical to complex mathematical problems (e.g., Cai & Hwang, 2002; Silver & Cai, 1996).”
From What Research Says About Teaching Mathematics Through Problem Posing (2022) · cites this paper as Silver & Cai, 1996
In the citing paper
“For example, Silver and Cai (1996) found that nearly 30% of problems posed by middle school students were either nonmathematical problems or simply nonproblem statements”

“However, researchers have also found that some students and teachers pose nonmathematical, unsolvable, and irrelevant problems.”

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.
