Read the citation in context
Smart Citations classify passages as supporting, contrasting or mentioning. Reports expose the text from citing papers and filters for classification, section, date and source type.
An author can inspect later discussion of a study before using it as evidence. These machine classifications describe citation behavior; they are not a verdict on the truth of the original finding.
