In the citing paper
“Hypotheses for a slowly decreasing O2 sink to the GOE tipping point rely on a decline in the ratio of reduced-to-oxidized species from volcanic, metamorphic, and hydrothermal sources (9, 123, 124, 133, 134).”
From The Archean atmosphere (2020) · cites this paper as [124]
In the citing paper
“These O2 levels would have only been attained when the O2 flux from the burial of organic carbon exceeded the kinetically efficient sink from O2-consuming gases (CO, H2, H2S, and SO2) from volcanism and metamorphism plus fluxes of reducing cations such as Fe2+ from seafloor vents (9, 120, 121, 123, 124).”
From The Archean atmosphere (2020) · cites this paper as [124]
In the citing paper
“This decline was attributed to mantle cooling and, with that, the decreasing frequency of Ni-rich ultramafic eruptions.This subsequently limited the amount of Ni-source rocks susceptible to weathering, and perhaps even impacted atmospheric oxygenation by its effect on biological carbon cycling”

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.
