In the citing paper
“This is less than the predicted cooling from the 5% scenario (−9.7 °C), suggesting that atmospheric cooling as a result of Deccan volcanism will not drive swings in temperature and precipitation that would lead to an extinction-level event.”
From Asteroid impact, not volcanism, caused the end-Cretaceous dinosaur extinction (2020) · cites this paper as [16]
In the citing paper
“These results suggest that long-term Deccan volcanism alone cannot be responsible for complete dinosaur habitat disruption, without invoking unrealistic volcanic SO2 forcing (near-constant large ejections) not seen at any point in the Phanerozoic (16).”
From Asteroid impact, not volcanism, caused the end-Cretaceous dinosaur extinction (2020) · cites this paper as [16]
In the citing paper
“Short-term Deccan volcanism (aerosol release), even in the more extreme Deccan-induced 5% solar reduction scenario (with greater sulfur release than hypothesized) (16), does not perturb the mean climate state sufficiently to produce an inhospitable biosphere globally for non-avian dinosaurs.”
From Asteroid impact, not volcanism, caused the end-Cretaceous dinosaur extinction (2020) · cites this paper as [16]
In the citing paper
“These spatiotemporal eruptive rate variations are critical for understanding the magmatic plumbing systems of CFBs (Sheth and Cañón-Tapia, 2015;Ernst et al., 2019) as well as the environmental impacts (e.g., Schmidt et al., 2016;Clapham and Renne 2019;Hull et al., 2020;Landwehrs et al., 2020).”

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.
