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?

  • Lignin (10-30%) is an amorphous tridimensional polymer mainly composed of p-hydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacyl (G), and syringyl (S) units.

    “Lignin (10-30%) is an amorphous tridimensional polymer mainly composed of three types of building blocks: phydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacyl (G), and syringyl (S) units”

    From Hydrothermal carbonization and liquefaction for sustainable production of hydrochar and aromatics (2021) · cites this paper as [53]

    Section 3.2 (page not provided) identifies S, G, and H units in the lignin samples, supporting the building-block portion of the claim. The passages found do not give a 10–30% lignin content or describe lignin as an amorphous three-dimensional polymer. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Harsh pretreatment can alter H/G/S ratios and reduce degree of polymerization in order to remove lignin from biomass.

    “The harsh pretreatment can alter the H/G/S ratios and reduce the degree of polymerization in order to remove lignin from biomass [53].”

    From Hydrothermal carbonization and liquefaction for sustainable production of hydrochar and aromatics (2021) · cites this paper as [53]

    The Introduction says harsh Kraft pulping can modify lignin structure and that organosolv pretreatment removes soluble lignin while partially depolymerizing it. It does not establish that harsh pretreatment alters H/G/S ratios: section 3.2 compares ratios in lignins from different biomass sources. Section 3.2 also reports increased molecular weights from repolymerization in Kraft lignin, rather than a general reduction in degree of polymerization. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Microwave-assisted HTL of Kraft lignin gave low yields of aromatic monomers and bio-oils.

    “The microwave-assisted HTL of Kraft lignin also gave low yields of aromatic monomers and bio-oils [53].”

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.
