Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“In contrast, Fukushima et al. found that the isolation of microorganisms was advantageous to the mineralization of PLA and PLA nanocomposites.488”
From Catalysis as an Enabling Science for Sustainable Polymers (2018) · cites this paper as [488]
In the citing paper
“Moreover, the rate of degradation was found to be faster for PLA nanocomposites than for pure PLA, owing to the presence of hydroxyl moieties at the surface of nanoclay that can act as nucleophiles.”

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.
