The skin pigmentation categorization method used in this meta-analysis classifies most White people in the United States as light rather than medium skin pigmentation.
“This method, however, classifies most White people in the United States as light rather than medium skin pigmentation [66].”
From Impact of skin pigmentation on pulse oximetry blood oxygenation and wearable pulse rate accuracy: systematic review and meta-analysis (2024) · cites this paper as [66]
The Results (p. 163) say that White participants mainly had digital image skin type scores of 2 or 3, on a scale where 1 is lightest and 6 darkest. The paper does not define the meta-analysis’s light-versus-medium categories or establish that most White people fall into its light category rather than its medium category. (LLM, conf=0.82)

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.
