Hi, Sir Portuga! Welcome to WRF.
I understand that you have not read the rule that requires (i) a full sentence, (ii) some context (iii) that the example should also be in the question - not the title and (iv) a source.
If you help us with those then we can answer.
(Are you asking about the word "on"? Or do you mean "What do you understand by...")

Sorry, I saw that on YouTube and it's a video about a war between two countries. It is in the description part of the video. The description starts just like that.
I guess the correct word should be 'by'...yes, so what do you understand by that sentence?
The phrase is a shortened version of "This video, and the story it tells, is 100% based on academic sources
to base [something1] on [something2] = to provide a foundation or evidence for [something1] by reference to [something2]
"He told me that the Portuguese make jam from carrots. And he based that statement...on a visit to a Portuguese family."
...................................................................................................[..something1..]......[..........something2..............]

Thanks for the further explanation. So, that shortened version is not wrong in terms of grammar and meaning since that context is implied in the video itself, did I get it right?
