A data synthesis reports a reversed Flynn effect in 13 countries in Africa, Europe, and North and South America, suggesting the reversed secular trend has strengthened in more recent years.
“and a data synthesis based on the aforementioned systematic review and another systematic review of a subset of secular losses likewise reports a reversed Flynn effect in 13 countries in Africa, Europe, and North and South America (study mid-years spanning from 1920.5 through 2007.5), suggesting that the reversed secular trend has strengthened in more recent years [7].”

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.
