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?

  • Some evidence suggests that additive manufacturing energy consumption may exceed that of casting and injection molding processes.

    “However, AM does not completely eliminate waste generation, and some evidence suggests that its energy consumption may exceed that of casting and injection molding processes [44,45].”

    From Towards Sustainability in Hydraulic Machinery Manufacturing by 3D Printing (2024) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Conclusions and “Waste production in AM processes” sections say that additive manufacturing does not eliminate waste. But no passage in our copy supports the cited sentence’s energy-consumption comparison with casting or injection molding; searches for that comparison found none. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
