In the citing paper
“Also, looking at earlier summaries of diversity trends for the Phanerozoic (Fig. 1) like those of Valentine (1969) or Sepkoski (1978), the end-Permian extinction could also be called the late-Palaeozoic mass extinction, as the palaeobiodiversity decrease started already in the Late Devonian and climaxed at the end of the Permian.”

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.
