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 check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“The right panel of fig. 8 displays the speed of sound c 2 s [75] clearly showing a dramatic decrease for T ≲ 2 T c and approaching 1 / 3 for T ≫ T c in agreement with an ultrarelativistic gas of quarks and gluons.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“A strong decrease in the speed of sound, already above T c , has been observed in lattice QCD, see [75, 76] for the most recent data.”

“Second, the present study uses Nf = 2 + 1 flavors as opposed to the Nf = 2 of [37], and the pseudocritical temperature is known to depend on the number of flavors [57], which may also introduce systematic differences in the dependence on the external field.”

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.
