Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ACC/AHA recognize that their recommendations for exercise testing are based on conflicting evidence and divergent expert opinions.

    “The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommend exercise testing before engaging in moderate- or vigorous-intensity exercise when the risk of CVD is increased but recognize that these recommendations are based on conflicting evidence and divergent expert opinions (15).”
  • The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommend exercise testing before engaging in moderate- or vigorous-intensity exercise when the risk of CVD is increased.

    “The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommend exercise testing before engaging in moderate- or vigorous-intensity exercise when the risk of CVD is increased but recognize that these recommendations are based on conflicting evidence and divergent expert opinions (15).”
  • Manual auscultation remains the recommended approach for exercise BP measurement.

    “Manual auscultation remains the recommended approach [15,42] although there are automated, motion-tolerant devices in widespread clinical use that have shown reasonable concordance with manual or invasive exercise BP measures [47,48].”
  • Guidelines recommend that BP measurement should take place before the exercise test, at every stage of exercise, and in recovery from an exercise test.

    “Guidelines recommend that BP measurement should take place before the exercise test, at every stage of exercise (including peak/maximal intensity if such a test is performed), and in recovery from an exercise test [15,42].”

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.
