Compacting graphical features and making them smaller to fit a mobile phone display does not necessarily negatively impact a user's interpretation of the graphic.
“a recent investigation from our group comparing screen size effects on a pattern matching task demonstrated that compacting graphical features and making them smaller to fit a mobile phone display does not necessarily negatively impact a user's interpretation of the graphic [71].”
From Design Guidelines and Recommendations for Multimodal, Touchscreen-based Graphics (2020) · cites this paper as [71]
On a mobile phone, a simple graphic can often be identified much quicker than on a tablet, given the smaller amount of space that must be explored.

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.
