In the citing paper
“(1) The mTBI group showed significantly greater brain activation than controls during the most difficult working memory load condition (2-back > 0-back), particularly in left temporal, insular, and right frontal regions.”
From A systematic review of brain structural and functional alterations in pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (2026) · cites this paper as Westfall et al. (2015)
In the citing paper
“(3) Findings suggest compensatory brain activation to support normal task performance up to 1 year post-injury.”

In the citing paper
“(2) There were no between-group differences in N-back task performance, neuropsychological test scores, or parent behavioral ratings (after correction for multiple comparisons).”
From A systematic review of brain structural and functional alterations in pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (2026) · cites this paper as Westfall et al. (2015)
In the citing paper
“While pediatric patients often achieve normal behavioral scores, task-based fMRI reveals this comes at a high neural cost, due to the hyperactivation in ECN and SN to recruit additional resources (Westfall et al., 2015).”

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.
