Cardiovascular Effects of n-3 Fatty Acids

Leaf, Alexander, Weber, Peter C.·1988·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

ALTHOUGH earlier studies1 2 3 suggested that dietary fish had some properties that could potentially prevent coronary artery disease, it was not until the epidemiologic studies of Bang et al.4 and Dyerberg et al.5 in the mid-1970s that the association became noteworthy. These researchers reviewed reports of a low prevalence of atherosclerosis among Eskimos in Greenland and subsequent documentation of an age-adjusted mortality from myocardial infarction among the Greenland Eskimos that was approximately 1/10th that among Danes6 or North Americans, despite a diet as high in fat and cholesterol as that of the Danes or Americans. The striking difference between the diets . . .

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.
