Our summary

Paper Trellis Citation Verifier takes the references and nearby claims from a manuscript, finds each cited paper, and asks whether the available evidence supports the claim. It tells the reviewer whether it read the whole paper or only the abstract, which is the paper's short opening summary.

Ordinary exact checks match paper identifiers, fetch available text, confirm that suggested quotations appear word for word, and compare cited numbers. A writing model may suggest a passage, while Jev separately estimates support, contradiction, or no answer. The tool removes quotations it cannot find in the source.

Its score cutoffs have not been tested on a human-labelled collection of biomedical papers. Scanned documents, blocked papers, and other reference types may be unavailable, and an abstract that says nothing does not prove a claim wrong. Private manuscripts and paper text may be sent to outside services chosen by the user.

Key takeaways

Show whether a check used the whole paper or only its short abstract.
Remove any suggested quotation that cannot be found word for word in the paper.
Keep the reviewer's decision separate from every automated score.
