Unfortunately, it was not possible to use information in the Ministry of Health drug registers to corroborate or refute these data as the information had not been recorded in a usable fashion (a point discussed below).
Although we have no information on interval cancer subtypes, previously published data refute the hypothesis that the introduction of FFDM has increased the number of false-negative cancers [ 10, 11].
Fittingness was achieved by discussing the findings in the light of other research studies in the area and by using the literature to support or refute the concepts emerging from the data during analysis.
These data refute the possibility that oct-GnRH arose singly in cephalopods by convergent evolution and provide valuable support for an ancient origin of GnRH during metazoan evolution.
The author further suggested that the measured data refute the contention that deforestation necessarily results in an increase in large-scale flooding and conversely that forestation would decrease the frequency or magnitude of such flooding.
Will the response to new science by interested parties now be focused on dueling attempts to have the paper retracted rather than on performing additional studies to replicate or refute the findings?" "Will these data, which could well have been accepted by another journal, now be tainted beyond possibility for inclusion in usual weight-of-evidence reviews of the body of peer-reviewed science?
In all of these studies, Treg suppressive ability was maintained during GITR ligation, and collectively these data refute the argument that GITR ligation globally makes Tregs unable to suppress.
These data refute the null hypothesis that the condition of fish, as defined by the microparasites they carry, does not affect their probability of predation.
These data refute the hypothesis that salivary proteins from geographically distinct populations of the same Phlebotomus sandfly species are highly divergent.
Our data refute the suggestions (Beral and Peto, 2010) that the lower UK breast cancer survival is influenced mainly by lower CR in survivors.
