Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Ambient pressure drying is a relatively straightforward and cost-effective method for producing aerogels on a large scale.

    “Nonetheless, ambient pressure drying is a relatively straightforward and cost-effective method for producing aerogels on a large scale [4].”

    From Silica Aerogels as a Promising Vehicle for Effective Water Splitting for Hydrogen Production (2025) · cites this paper as [4]

    Section 2.3.2 (Ambient pressure drying) calls APD cheaper than supercritical drying, but says it requires surface modification and other processing steps. It explicitly says the processing time and chemical use make APD too costly for large-scale production, contrary to the cited claim. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • If aging is increased, the aerogel shows a decrease in bulk density and contraction, unlike gels dried at room temperature.

    “If aging is increased, the aerogel shows a decrease in bulk density and contraction, different to gels dried at room temperature (ambient dried has a larger pore size and volume).”

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.
