  • The search was unable to include any study employing Transcendental Meditation because their methodology did not meet the inclusion criteria.

    “Because our inclusion criteria focused on randomised controlled trials, we were unable to include a single study employing Transcendental Meditation. Although we found a number of studies on the prosocial effects of this technique, particularly on its supposed effect on reducing violence10, their methodology did not meet our inclusion criteria.”

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.
