Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Evolutionary increases in encephalization are positively associated with sleep time allocated to REM sleep, even when phylogenetic similarity is controlled.

    “Evolutionary increases in encephalization are positively associated with sleep time allocated to REM sleep, even when the effects of phylogenetic similarity between species are controlled (e.g., Ref. 725, but see Refs.1077, 1078).”

    From About Sleep's Role in Memory (2013) · cites this paper as [1078]

    The “REM sleep and dreaming” section says REM cycle duration is positively correlated with body and brain mass, but cycle duration is not the proportion of sleep spent in REM. Our copy does not report an association between encephalization and REM sleep allocation or an analysis controlling for phylogenetic similarity (searched: encephalization and phylogenetic control).

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.
