Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Frequency and wavelength measurements from Sibernetic experiments for swimming and crawling have a best fit line with slope 0.59 and intercept 0.48, comparable to [28] slope 0.64 and intercept 0.42.

    “with the best fit line having a slope of 0.59 and an intercept of 0.48 ( [28] slope: 0.64, intercept 0.42).”

    From Three-dimensional simulation of the <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> body and muscle cells in liquid and gel environments for behavioural analysis (2018) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Figure 1A caption in the section on patterns of body bending shows a frequency–wavelength relation with a best linear fit, so the comparison has a basis in the cited paper. Our copy does not give the attributed slope of 0.64 or intercept of 0.42; the citing paper’s 0.59 and 0.48 describe its own fit. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • Swimming, crawling, and a continuum of intermediate locomotion waveforms represent different manifestations of the same fundamental behavior in different physical environments.

    “The model was motivated by the recent finding that swimming, crawling, and a continuum of intermediate locomotion waveforms represent different manifestations of the same fundamental behavior in different physical environments (Berri et al., 2009; Fang-Yen et al., 2010; Boyle et al., 2011).”

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.
