Abstract

WHEN oral contraceptives became generally available during the early 1960s, their use increased rapidly, initially in North America and then elsewhere. By 1965, approximately 15 per cent of all married women 15 to 44 years of age in the United States were taking oral contraceptives; by 1973, this figure had increased to 25 per cent, or about 6.6 million.1 Use in the United States peaked during the mid-1970s but has continued to increase in many other countries.2 Worldwide, it is estimated that about 54 million women were using oral contraceptives by 1977. 2 Evidence suggesting that oral contraceptives might have effects . . .

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.
