Verify statistics from raw data
Learn to evaluate published statistics by checking them against raw data.
Describe the task
ZeroDesk can parse manuscripts while simultaneously running statistical analyses on raw data, helping you understand research methods and build critical reading skills.
Ask ZeroDesk to examine a paper by extracting every statistical claim and rerunning each analysis on the provided data files.
I am reading this paper that is central to my literature review and want to understand it more deeply before citing it extensively.
Can you help me verify their statistical claims?
Pull out every p-value, mean, standard error, sample size, and test result, then run each analysis using the actual data.
For each claim, show what the paper states, what you calculated, and whether they match.
Build a detailed Excel workbook with separate sheets for each analysis plus a summary sheet highlighting issues.

Require Attention
Sample Size Discrepancy - manuscript states n=12 per group, data shows n=11 for control group.
Unit Conversion Error - values are off by factor of 100, data stored in meters but reported as centimeters.
Inappropriate Statistical Test - used unpaired t-test for paired measurements.
