Sentence examples for spurious increase from inspiring English sources

It is clear that studies such as the aforementioned one by Kluner et al. in which the findings on the reduced dose CT protocol under investigation were compared with findings on urography, ureterography, endoscopy and/or clinical follow-up were limited with potential for inappropriately low false-negative cases and consequently a spurious increase in reported sensitivity [20].

First, given the known weakness of the dystrophic membrane, a leak around the microelectrode may cause a spurious increase in the intracellular calcium that is recorded.

This could suggest that some studies contributing to the DGV may have been vulnerable to the same biases, causing a spurious increase in correspondence with our dataset.
