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

  • The rater's age does not exhibit a significant correlation with perceived attractiveness.

    “Conversely, the rater’s age (β5) does not exhibit a significant correlation with perceived attractiveness, which is aligned with previous research [67,68] and in contradiction with what other authors have reported [69].”

    From What is beautiful is still good: the attractiveness halo effect in the era of beauty filters (2024) · cites this paper as [67]

    The Results report that the rater’s age was not a statistically significant main effect for face recognition, not for perceived attractiveness. The Stimulus Material section says beauty ratings provided data for a separate study; the passages on perceived beauty address its effect on recognition. Our copy does not report whether rater age correlates with attractiveness ratings. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
