Where the size scale and the data disagree, the page says so rather than picking one.","Every figure here is a measurement taken to somebody's convention.",{},{"secondHand":12},"Neither series was read off its own paper: both figures were transcribed by somebody else, which is a class this page refuses to accept as a distribution and lists in the refusals below. That is why the offset is stated as this app's own assumption and carries no citation of its own — it adjusts a comparison, it does not join the data.",{"pooled":14,"bands":17,"preference":20,"testes":23,"caveats":26,"refusals":29},{"headline":15,"standfirst":16},"What the large reviews pool to","Two systematic reviews, read first-hand, each row carrying the number of men behind it rather than the number on the title page. Not one of them can place a reading: what each publishes is an error on its own pooled average, which says how sure the review is about that average and nothing about how far apart two men are.",{"headline":18,"standfirst":19},"The five sizes, and what they really hold","The scale is designed so that half of men land in Medium and one in twenty at each end. The right-hand column is what the study actually puts in each band at those exact cut points.",{"headline":21,"standfirst":22},"What one panel said it would choose","A stated preference is not a measurement of anybody. It is what a group of women picked out of a set of printed models, in one city, on one afternoon — and it is here because the question gets asked and an unsourced answer is worse than a sourced small one.",{"headline":24,"standfirst":25},"A clinical volume, which is a different quantity","Measured by ultrasound, one side at a time. The formula is on every row because the same testis yields three different volumes depending only on which constant the paper multiplied by — a volume without its formula is a number rather than a volume.",{"headline":27,"standfirst":28},"What would change these numbers","These are not disclaimers. Each one is a specific, checked fact that changes how a figure should be read, and the first is large enough to swamp several sliders in the builder.",{"headline":30,"standfirst":31},"What is not here, and why","Everything below was considered for this page and left off it. Several would be the most useful figures it could hold, which is exactly why they are named rather than quietly missing: the next person to go looking will find them too, and should find the reason with them.","statistics","GZZOpjVvYXyUccDi2CAZE-VbdqUCy2IeN8XMGtivBjM",1790015306038]
