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?

  • Alcohol consumption plays a causal role in oral cavity, pharyngeal, laryngeal, oesophageal (limited to squamous cell carcinoma), liver, colon, rectal and female breast cancers.

    “Furthermore, the most recent IARC monographs found sufficient animal and epidemiological evidence to conclude that alcohol consumption plays a causal role in oral cavity, pharyngeal, laryngeal, oesophageal (limited to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), liver, colon, rectal and female breast cancers 149,”
  • There is limited epidemiological evidence of a relationship between alcohol consumption and kidney, thyroid, prostate, ovarian and endometrial cancers and Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and the causal role of alcohol in these cancers is uncertain.

    “Lastly, there is limited epidemiological evidence of a relationship between alcohol consumption and kidney, thyroid, prostate, ovarian and endometrial cancers and Hodgkin's and non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma 149. Thus, the causal role of alcohol in the development of these cancers is uncertain.”

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.
