Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • As different dimensions of alcohol use impact upon cardiovascular outcomes, instrumental variable approaches such as Mendelian randomization cannot answer questions of causality easily, as they assume linear relations with one dimension.

    “As different dimensions of alcohol use impact upon cardiovascular outcomes, instrumental variable approaches such as Mendelian randomization cannot answer questions of causality easily, as they assume linear relations with one dimension (for Mendelian randomizations studies see 259, 265; for a discussion of different dimensions of alcohol use with divergent predictions see 266).”
  • The assumptions of Mendelian randomization studies are problematic if two dimensions are to be analysed simultaneously with one instrumental variable.

    “their assumptions are problematic if two dimensions are to be analysed simultaneously with one instrumental variable”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
