One STEM bridge program measured recruitment by counting the total number of students the bridge program recruited.
“One program measured recruitment by counting the total number of students the bridge program recruited (Bruno et al., 2016), and the other program reported an increase in the number of students in the major after the bridge program was implemented (Thompson and Consi, 2007).”

The Introduction reports that 64 students participated over three years, so the paper does count the program’s students. But the Methods says program efficacy was evaluated with pre- and post-program surveys, and the Discussion also reports how many alumni declared geoscience majors. It does not identify the total participant count as its measure of recruitment. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThree of the 11 STEM bridge programs with an explicit diversity goal reported measuring increased diversity and stated that they were successful in enhancing diversity.
“Three of the 11 bridge programs reported the results of measuring increased diversity and stated that they were successful in enhancing diversity (Maton et al., 2000, 2012; Summers and Hrabowski, 2006; Stolle-McAllister et al., 2011; Bruno et al., 2016).”

Only two of the STEM bridge programs with an interest goal reported measuring student interest, and both demonstrated success in increasing student interest.
“Only two of these programs reported measuring student interest, and both demonstrated success in increasing student interest (Thompson and Consi, 2007; Bruno et al., 2016).”

Two of the STEM bridge programs that measured student interest used a single-item pre-post measure.
“Two of the programs that measured bridge student interest in the major used a single-item pre–post measure (Lenaburg et al., 2012; Bruno et al., 2016);”

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.
