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?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“lithium is a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles (EVs), energy grid storage, and portable electronic devices, in addition to its direct uses in ceramics, glass, and other products”
From Lithium and water: Hydrosocial impacts across the life cycle of energy storage (2024) · cites this paper as Gruber et al., 2011
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“Since BEVs and PHEVs will control the majority of the EV market, LBs will probably be a significant component of the future generation of EVs [14,15].”

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.
