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?

  • Solitude behavior may activate FoMO.

    “Thus, this means that solitude behavior may activate the FoMO.”

    From The effect of fear of missing out on mental health: differences in different solitude behaviors (2023) · cites this paper as [18]

    The indexed copy contains an IRIS repository citation and a listing for a restricted PDF, but no passage from the paper addressing whether solitude behavior may activate FoMO. Searches for the claim and for loneliness or social exclusion returned only that repository record, so the claim cannot be checked against the available text. (LLM, conf=0.74)

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.
