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?

  • During subduction, biological processes within the subducted water mass may consume some of the unequilibrated alkalinity, but this will have no impact on atmospheric CO2 until the water mass resurfaces.

    “During that time, biological processes within the subducted water mass may consume some of the unequilibrated alkalinity, however this will have no impact on atmospheric CO2 until the water mass resurfaces. 64”

    From A framework for understanding efficiency losses of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (2026) · cites this paper as [64]

    Section 5 (p. 9) says biogeochemical processes can change alkalinity. Section 5.1 (p. 9) distinguishes a closed system from the upper ocean mixed layer, where a CO2 increase leads to outgassing. The paper does not address subduction, unequilibrated alkalinity, or the claim that atmospheric CO2 is unaffected until a water mass resurfaces. (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.
