Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“This superiority is attributed to the high specific surface area of MCM-41, which ensures good dispersion of Ni-Fe alloy particles and provides more active sites.Meanwhile, the mesoporous channels in Ni-Fe/MCM-41 enhance the diffusion efficiency of pyrolysis volatiles, whereas the large metal particles on Beta promote irregular carbon deposition.”

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.
