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

  • Internal feedbacks sustain alternative ecological states, consistent with tipping point theory.

    “These dynamics align with tipping point theory, where internal feedbacks sustain alternative ecological states 61 .”

    From Amazon dieback beyond the 21st century under high-emission scenarios by Earth System models (2025) · cites this paper as [61]

    The available indexed passages contain bibliographic metadata and keywords, not the paper’s substantive discussion (the records labelled Abstract have no abstract text). Searches for internal feedbacks sustaining alternative ecological states and for alternative stable states and tipping points found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.70)

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.
