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].”
  • In part, the lower preferred temperatures of children could be explained by increasing the metabolic rate input for children by 20%.

    “In part, the lower preferred temperatures could be explained by increasing the metabolic rate input for children by 20%.”
  • Children seem to have a greater sensitivity to changes in their metabolism.

    “Moreover, one of the factors mentioned is that children seem to have a greater sensitivity to changes in their metabolism.”
  • 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].”
  • Rupp, Vasquez and Lamberts report that field studies amongst young children showed they preferred lower temperatures than those predicted by the PMV.

    “Importantly, Rupp, Vasquez and Lamberts [60] report that field studies amongst young children showed they preferred lower temperatures than those predicted by the PMV.”

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.
