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?

  • Information on canine gastrointestinal anatomy is scarce.

    “Information on canine gastrointestinal anatomy is scarce (Mech 1974;McGrosky et al. 2016;Stan 2016;Boyd 2022)”

    From The Andean fox Lycalopex culpaeus (Molina, 1782) in southwestern Colombia: diet and anatomical description (2026) · cites this paper as Mech 1974

    The FORM section describes the wolf’s stomach and liver and compares its anatomy with that of the domestic dog. It does not say that information on canine gastrointestinal anatomy is scarce. Searches for that assertion and for limited knowledge of digestive-tract anatomy found no supporting passage in our copy; no page number is available. (LLM, conf=0.75)

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.
