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

  • Friction between articular cartilage surfaces in living joints at these pressures is extremely low; values down to around 0.003 have been reported in animal joints in vivo or in cadavers.

    “At the same time, friction between articular cartilage surfaces in living joints at these pressures is extremely low, even at very low sliding pressures. Values down to around 0.003 have been reported in animal joints in vivo or in cadavers [104 -106], although in practice it is extremely difficult to measure such low friction coefficients in living joints.”

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.
