Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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 Great Oxygenation Event at 2.45-2.22 Ga marks the rapid appearance of free oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.

    “The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) at 2.45-2.22Ga (Bekker et al., 2004;Guo et al., 2009;Gumsley et al., 2017) marks the rapid appearance of free oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere (Anbar et al., 2007;Sessions et al., 2009)”

    From Secular change and the onset of plate tectonics on Earth (2020) · cites this paper as Guo et al., 2009

  • This expected sulfate level is not consistent with models that suggest extremely low seawater sulfate levels before the GOE, possibly as low as 2.5 μM.

    “This is not consistent with models that suggest extremely low seawater sulfate levels before the GOE, possibly as low as 2.5 μM (34, 62).”
  • An increase in the marine sulfate reservoir at about 2.3 Ga is supported by the large sulfur isotope separation between CAS and pyrite recorded in the topmost Duitschland Formation and the recent finding of gypsum in sabkha-facies evaporites at ~2.31 Ga.

    “An increase in the marine sulfate reservoir at about 2.3 Ga is also supported by the large sulfur isotope separation between CAS and pyrite (attributed to microbial sulfate reduction) recorded in the topmost Duitschland Formation (34), as well as the recent finding of gypsum in sabkha-facies evaporites at ~2.31 Ga (41).”
  • A much higher sink of seawater sulfate is required to maintain the very low sulfate levels previously suggested.

    “Therefore, a much higher sink of seawater sulfate is required to maintain the very low sulfate levels previously suggested (8, 34, 60).”

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.
