Public data we re-analyse
Public dataPublished research data, not a laboratory's. No study here was run with us or reviewed by its authors.
The 34 method comparisons in the change explorer come from 12 open-access studies. Each is listed here with its authors, a link to the source, its licence and what we changed.
The studies
Changes, for every study below: Paired results re-analysed by NakedSignal's program; instruments described generically; only derived results are shown. We do not republish the paired results; the links go to the authors' own deposits.
