Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that catalytic converters reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from cars?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that three-way catalytic converters reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from vehicle exhaust, with one dictionary giving a 62% reduction figure. One older textbook notes converters can also promote some nitrogen oxide formation, a partial caveat.
