Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Recent works focused nearly exclusively on the performance of the respirators, i.e., their filtration performance.
“Recent works 7, 23, 26-29 focused nearly exclusively on the performance of the respirators, i.e., their filtration performance.”
From Assessment of N95 and K95 respirator decontamination: fiber integrity, filtration efficiency, and dipole charge density (2020) · cites this paper as [28]
The Introduction reports filtration-efficiency figures, but the section on cleaning and reuse also discusses evidence for viral survival and inactivation on N95 masks. This paper therefore does not focus nearly exclusively on filtration performance. The indexed copy provides section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
