In the citing paper
“The spatial distribution of AIDP-2 and AIDP-3 geographically brackets and nearly spans the entire stratigraphic section from which all of the other Pilbara biomarkers have been previously reported (1,3,4,21).”
From Reappraisal of hydrocarbon biomarkers in Archean rocks (2015) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“the analyses of the saw blade (before it was heat treated) and the sawed surfaces of the RHDH2A quarter-core highlight that sawing can contribute significant but variable hydrocarbon contaminants to the substrate, yet the cumulative blanks reported in previous studies did not record the hydrocarbon contribution from sawing (1,4,6,7).”
From Reappraisal of hydrocarbon biomarkers in Archean rocks (2015) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“According to currently available H/C ratios and other indicators of thermal history, the metamorphic grades of AIDP-2 and AIDP-3 are similar to (1-4, 6, 7, 15, 21, 26) or lower than (5,22,23) the metamorphic grades of the rocks from which biomarkers have been previously reported.”

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.
