It's hard to test that, as search engines work on different index of URLs, and other factors can't be separated. But this test can be helpful at least to start a study.
Easy to test, IMO. Just put the made up word in the URL only, and if Google ranks the page for the made-up word, then you know that Google's algorithm takes into consideration keywords in URL. If Google doesn't return any results for the made up word, then you know that Google ignores keywords in URL.
