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?

Statistics recomputed

Every reported test result, recomputed from its test statistic and degrees of freedom. A result shows as not adding up only once an independent check has confirmed it.

  • Consistentt(80) = -12.14reported p < .001 · recomputed p < .001

    “t(80) = -12.14,p < .001”

  • Consistentt(79) = 1.94reported p < .05 · recomputed p = .056

    “t(79) = 1.94, p < .05”

    The paper states a one-tailed test

  • ConsistentF(9, 71) = 12.82reported p < .001 · recomputed p < .001

    “F(9,71) = 12.82, p < .001”

  • ConsistentF(7, 73) = 5.27reported p < .001 · recomputed p < .001

    “F(7,73) = 5.27, p < .001”

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.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

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.
