Evidence concern: excluded from comparisons

Table 1 labels its middle reference column 'ChIP-seq' and the caption names cell-type-specific ChIP-seq, but its values equal the 'Nonspecific ChIP-seq' mean and std rows of Tables 4 and 6 (for example scGPT costok EPR 4.211±1.703), and Appendix B says cell-type-specific ChIP-seq is excluded from the main comparison. Table 1 is therefore not extracted; Tables 4-7 carry the reference labels.Benchmarking Static Gene Regulatory Network Reconstruction and Dynamic Transition Probing in Single-Cell Foundation Models · Table 1 caption and column header; Tables 4 and 6, 'Nonspecific ChIP-seq' mean rows; Appendix B text before Table 4

Table 6 is titled 'AUPR' and Table 7 'AUPRC', but both print ratios over a random predictor (values above 1), matching the 'AUPRC ratio' of Table 1; both are recorded as auprc-ratio.Benchmarking Static Gene Regulatory Network Reconstruction and Dynamic Transition Probing in Single-Cell Foundation Models · Table 6 and Table 7 captions; Table 1 caption

Table 7 (TFs+1000 AUPRC) repeats Table 6 (TFs+500 AUPR) exactly in the GENIE3 column of the STRING, Cell-type-specific ChIP-seq and Nonspecific ChIP-seq blocks: all 18 dataset values and the three mean and std rows are identical (for example STRING hESC 1.6241, mean 3.301, std 2.244). Only the OmniPath block differs. Every other column, and GENIE3 in the EPR Tables 4 and 5, differs between the two gene sets, and the Table 6 values match Table 1. These 21 Table 7 GENIE3 values are likely a copy of the TFs+500 values and should not be compared.Benchmarking Static Gene Regulatory Network Reconstruction and Dynamic Transition Probing in Single-Cell Foundation Models · Table 7, column group 'ML', column 'GENIE3', blocks 'STRING', 'Cell-type-specific' and 'Nonspecific'; Table 6, same cells; Table 1, GENIE3 AUPRC ratio

Metadata review: source checked. Unreported conditions prevent automatic comparisons.

Reproduction

Split: No train/test split; networks inferred from each full expression matrix
Adaptation: Foundation models zero-shot from pretrained weights; GENIE3, DeepSEM and GRNBoost fitted to each expression matrix
Scoring implementation: Early precision ratio and AUPRC ratio over a random predictor (Appendix B.2)

No execution recipe has been verified for this exact configuration and evaluation. A benchmark's general instructions may use different inputs, splits or model settings.

Reproducing this published result requires matching its model configuration, data, split and scorer. Source checking or a successful smoke test does not establish score reproduction.

Evidence

Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.

Evidence table

Inspect claims, sources and review details

Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.

One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.
