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?
The cited source doesn’t support the claim as written.
In the citing paper
“This is likely driven by the topographical β effect, due to the spherical shell geometry, which is stronger near the equator, promoting strong axisymmetric jets, while, at higher latitudes, the β -effect decreases and the system approaches a rotating plane layer where the formation of giant vortices is favored”
From Deep rotating convection generates the polar hexagon on Saturn (2020) · cites this paper as [26]
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“the number and the widths of the zonal jets are likely determined by the zonal flow strength and the topographic β effect [26].”
From Deep rotating convection generates the polar hexagon on Saturn (2020) · cites this paper as [26]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“For example, deep-flow models that posit intrinsic heat fluxes as the sole driver of the flow can generate equatorial superrotation, but they use heat fluxes more than 10 6 times larger than those observed (e.g., Heimpel and Aurnou 2007).”

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.
