Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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?

  • A selfish parasite can spread and channel away catalytic aid, leading to collapse of hypercycle.

    “If this parasite receives strong enough catalysis, then it can spread and channel away catalytic aid, leading to the collapse of the hypercycle”

    From Ecology and Evolution in the RNA World Dynamics and Stability of Prebiotic Replicator Systems (2017) · cites this paper as [70]

  • A shortcut parasite reduces hypercycle to fewer members, representing evolution to shorter hypercycles and loss of information.

    “Such a shortcut parasite reduces the hypercycle to one that consists of fewer members than the original (i.e., reduces overall diversity). A shorter hypercycle having shared members with a longer hypercycle can spread in expense of the longer one. This represents evolution to shorter and shorter hypercycles. Information is lost with each loss of a member.”

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.
