Figure 1. Association between factuality score adjusted by country mean, parties’ left-right ideology (right), and populism (middle), and government participation (left) with 95% confidence intervals.
I think this means that the y axis represents the deviation from the mean score, not the actual ‘factuality score’.
The left-right vs factual score is quite interesting

I’m not sure whether that difference is statistically significant though since there are only a couple of left sources included.
I scanned the study and couldn’t figure out what a negative factual score means, it only talks about factuality being rated from 0 to 1.
I think this means that the y axis represents the deviation from the mean score, not the actual ‘factuality score’.
Ah! In my scanning I missed the “adjusted by country mean” but yeah, you’re totally correct.
