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 geometries of A:T and G:C base pairs are remarkably similar to each other but differ from mismatched base pairs.

    “The geometries of A⅐T and G⅐C base pairs are remarkably similar to each other but differ from mismatched base pairs (15,19,24,31,32).”

    From DNA Replication Fidelity (2004) · cites this paper as [31]

  • Nucleotide selectivity largely depends on geometric selection for the shape and size of correct Watson-Crick base pairs.

    “This tight fit is consistent with a concept that emerged about 25 years ago (reviewed in Refs.15 and 31) that nucleotide selectivity largely depends on geometric selection for the shape and size of correct Watson-Crick base pairs.”

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.
