Statistics

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?

  • Ash content was the lowest in woody biochars (1.5-3.0%) and the highest in peanut shell biochars (7.0-12.0%).

    “the ash content was the lowest in woody biochars (1.5-3.0%) and the highest in peanut shell biochars (7.0-12.0%)”
  • Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin undergo hydrolysis, isomerization, and dehydration to produce intermediates such as furfural and finally polymerization to produce hydrochar.

    “These components undergo a series of hydrolysis, isomerization, and dehydration to produce intermediates such as furfural and finally polymerization to produce hydrochar [41].”
  • Li and Liu (2014) prepared walnut shell-derived hydrochar, activated hydrochar, and activated hydrochar on ZnO composites for supercapacitors; specific surface area of activated hydrochar on ZnO and activated hydrochar exhibited 819 and 1073 m2/g; compared to activated hydrochar, activated hydrochar on ZnO composite showed 117.4 F/g specific capacitance at 0.5 A/g in KOH aqueous solution, stable

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.
