Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Children must maintain their bodies for heredity purposes and contribute to society to honor the family.

    “Children must maintain their bodies for heredity purposes and contribute to society to honor the family (Leung & Shek, 2018).”

    From Helicopter Parenting and Emotional Problems in Chinese Emerging Adults: Are there Cross-lagged Effects and the Mediations of Autonomy? (2023) · cites this paper as Leung & Shek, 2018

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says personal achievement can bring pride and honor to the family. It does not say children must maintain their bodies for heredity or contribute to society, so those parts of the claim are unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
