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?

  • Fucoidan displays a general backbone consisting predominantly of α-(1→2)-linked sulfated l-fucose units and, in smaller amounts, α-(1→3)- and α-(1→4)-linked sulfated fucose units.

    “Nevertheless, it displays a general backbone consisting of predominantly α-(1→2)-linked sulfated l-fucose units and, in smaller amounts, α-(1→3)and α-(1→4)-1inked sulfated fucose units (Percival, 1979;Davis et al., 2003;Li et al., 2008;Ale and Meyer, 2013).”
  • Fucoidan is a cell wall polysaccharide found in members of family Laminariaceae of brown algae.

    “Fucoidan is a cell wall polysaccharide that is found in the members of family Laminariaceae of brown algae.”

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.
