The average self-rated confidence (1–100%) claim authors gave their own claims, grouped by the authors' survey answers; it is not how those claims fared in the vote. It counts claims, not people, and an answer group shows only once it has enough rated claims to stay anonymous, so a small tour may show little or nothing here.
