Statistics

Figures

Figure 1 Scatter plots of the relationships between community asthma prevalence (measured by the proportion of children with wheezing in the last 12 months) and z scores for the first components of infrastructure (A), socioeconomic (B), lifestyle (C) and summary urbanisation (D) indices. The regression line is shown for each relationship. Red squares represent outliers and extreme observations identified on residual analysis in bivariate linear regression.

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.
