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?

  • Five review papers were identified that discuss the influence of age on preferred temperature or synonymous concepts such as neutral temperature or thermal comfort.

    “Five review papers have been identified that discuss the influence of age on preferred temperature or synonymous concepts such as neutral temperature or thermal comfort (Table 3) [58–62].”
  • Most original studies identified by the review papers presented in Table 4 report women to be more sensitive to temperature fluctuations, women to be more often dissatisfied than men, women to have smaller comfort zones and to be more often uncomfortably hot or cold than men.

    “In summary, most original studies identified by the review papers presented in Table 4 report women to be more sensitive to temperature fluctuations, women to be more often dissatisfied than men, women to have smaller comfort zones and to be more often uncomfortably hot or cold than men [59–61,67].”
  • Mishra and Ramgopal's review found that three studies indicate elderly feeling cooler or preferring a higher ambient temperature, while two papers state differences in neutral temperature but those results are not conclusive.

    “Three studies indicate elderly feeling cooler or preferring a higher ambient temperature; two papers state differences in neutral temperature but results of those not conclusive.”
  • Different clothing patterns of women and men are regularly reported in field studies, with women usually exhibiting lower CLO values than men.

    “Also, different clothing patterns of women and men are regularly reported in field studies, with women usually exhibiting lower CLO values than men [59,67].”

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.
