No, nothing like proof numbers.
It is just the standard search technique, with additional restrictions
to the moves of the mating side (usually white).

As a result the attribute "shortest possible mate" is lost, although any
stated mate still is a forced mate.  And sometimes the additional restrictions
allow for "ridiculously" deep searches :-)
