Bacteria and the aetiology of cancer of the large bowel.
Open accessAbstract
Cancer of the large bowel shows marked variations in geographical distribution (Doll, 1967; Doll, Payne, and Waterhouse, 1966; Davis, Knowelden, and Wilson, 1965) and, with the exception of Japan, the disease is more prevalent in developed than in underdeveloped countries.The reason for this variation is not known but epidemiological evidence suggests that environmental factors may be involved.It is claimed that immigrants from areas with a low incidence of cancer of the large bowel tend to show the same high incidence of this cancer as the local population (Haenszel and Dawson, 1965; Buell and Dunn, 1965).Changes in dietary habit may be especially important (Wynder and Shigematsu, 1967;

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.
