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?

  • More than a third of children live in households that report at least one type of material hardship, nearly twice the number of children who live in income poor households.

    “More than a third of children live in households that report at least one type of material hardship; nearly twice the number of children who live in households that are income poor [1].”
  • Material hardship and income poverty are not synonymous; some income poor families do not experience material hardship, while other families with incomes well above the poverty threshold struggle to meet their material needs.

    “Although material hardship is closely linked to income poverty, these are not synonymous. Some income poor families do not experience material hardship, while other families with incomes well above the poverty threshold struggle to meet their material needs [1,5,6,7].”
  • The results support the growing consensus that income poverty and material hardship do not necessarily reflect the same experience of economic vulnerability.

    “Our results support the growing consensus that income poverty and material hardship do not necessarily reflect the same experience of economic vulnerability [1,5,6,11].”
  • The prevalence estimates reported are consistent with more recent data, which strengthens confidence in the relevance of these results in today's context.

    “That the prevalence estimates we report are consistent with more recent data [1] strengthens our confidence in the relevance of these results in today’s context.”

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.
