Many studies using data from other countries have reached similar conclusions about the negative impact of COVID-19 on adolescent mental health.
“many studies have reached similar conclusions using data from other countries (Patra and Patro, 2020; Hu and Qian, 2021; Idele and Banati, 2021; Meyers et al., 2021).”
From COVID-19 pandemic and adolescent mental health in China: Micro evidence and socioeconomic mechanisms (2022) · cites this paper as Idele and Banati, 2021
The main text reports that recent literature suggests adverse COVID-19 mental-health effects in children and adolescents, including findings from a study of Chinese adolescents. But this source is a call to action that reports others’ findings; it does not itself present a study using data from another country, as the citing sentence implies. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
