we do have a strong and vested interest in publishing results that so obviously endorse our existence.\n[17] Moreover, the author of the article is also an editor of an open-access journal.\n[18] But sometimes a potential conflict of interest can actually help to ensure rigor.\n[19] In this case, we have an acute interest in ensuring that the article meets the same, if not higher, standards as any other research article we publish.\n[20] Not only must the conclusions provide a significant advance for the field, but the study must be technically sound, with appropriate evidence to support those conclusions.\n[21] As with all our research articles, we consulted throughout the evaluation process with an academic editor with appropriate expertise—in this case, Carol Tenopir, professor of information sciences at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee, United States).\n[22] The article was reviewed by two experts in bibliometric analyses and information science, and an experienced research biologist with expertise in statistics.\n[23] They all enthusiastically supported publication, although one understandably questioned the suitability of PLoS Biology as the publication venue.\n[24] We have no intention of making PLoS Biology a regular home for bibliometric studies (even when about open access).\n[25] What makes this study worth publishing in PLoS Biology is not only the relative strength of evidence supporting the claim but also the extent to which many (especially other publishers) have anticipated such an analysis.\n[26] As far as we are aware, no other study has compared OA and non-OA articles from the same journal and controlled for so many potentially confounding factors.\n[27] Eysenbach's multivariate analysis took into account the number of days since publication, number of authors, article type, country of the corresponding author, funding type, subject area, submission track ( PNAS has three different ways that authors can submit a paper), and the previous citation record of the first and last authors.\n[28] He even administered a supplementary questionnaire to assess whether authors choosing the OA option in PNAS chose to do so for only their most important research (they didn't).\n[29] As Ian Rowlands from the Centre for Publishing at University College London—and one of the reviewers who agreed to be identified in this article—said at the start of his review: “Many (most) of the papers and presentations I have read/seen on this topic have completely failed to address the kinds of confounding issues that are so convincingly tackled here.\n[30] For that reason alone, this paper deserves to be published and alerted to the widest possible audience.\n[31] ” In addition to providing evidence for the immediate advantage of open access, Eysenbach's analysis also highlights several potential challenges to its long-term future.\n[32] Although a limited dataset, the citation history of the first and last authors differed between those who chose the open-access option and those who did not.\n[33] In the group that chose open access, last authors tended to have a “stronger” previous citation record, whereas this situation was reversed among the group that declined the open-access option—here, it was the first authors who tended to be stronger.\n[34] This may reflect varying attitudes of authors at different stages of their career, a stronger influence from the leader of a particular group, or an age- or career-related difference in the ability to pay the publication charge (e.g., [ 1]).\n[35] Indeed, access to appropriate funds may also be a reason why a lower proportion of authors from European countries tended to choose the open-access option.\n[36] In many of these countries, funds for page charges—and, by extension, open-access publication fees—are often not included within research grants.\n[37] PNAS was one of the first journals to offer an open-access option to its authors.\n[38] However, such hybrid journals are increasing: Blackwell, Springer, and Oxford University Press now provide this option as well.\n[39] This means that similar experiments can be replicated.\n[40] Moreover, although the evidence from the current analysis argues most strongly for a time advantage in citation for OA articles, a study over longer periods will reveal whether this translates into a sustained increase in the number of citations.\n[41] In the meantime, open-access advocates should be emboldened by tangible evidence for what has seemed obvious all along."}]}, {"role": "assistant", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Label: SUPPORTS\nRationale sentence ids: [40]\nExplanation: Evidence states: \"Moreover, although the evidence from the current analysis argues most strongly for a time advantage in citation for OA articles, a study over longer periods will reveal whether this translates into a sustained increase in the number of citations.\".

reductions in risk-deleted DALY rates rather than reductions in exposure drove these declines.\n[15] Rising exposure contributed to notable increases in attributable DALYs from high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, occupational carcinogens, and drug use.\n[16] Environmental risks and childhood undernutrition declined steadily with SDI; low physical activity, high BMI, and high fasting plasma glucose increased with SDI.\n[17] In 119 countries, metabolic risks, such as high BMI and fasting plasma glucose, contributed the most attributable DALYs in 2015.\n[18] Regionally, smoking still ranked among the leading five risk factors for attributable DALYs in 109 countries; childhood underweight and unsafe sex remained primary drivers of early death and disability in much of sub-Saharan Africa.\n[19] INTERPRETATION Declines in some key environmental risks have contributed to declines in critical infectious diseases.\n[20] Some risks appear to be invariant to SDI.\n[21] Increasing risks, including high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, drug use, and some occupational exposures, contribute to rising burden from some conditions, but also provide opportunities for intervention.\n[22] Some highly preventable risks, such as smoking, remain major causes of attributable DALYs, even as exposure is declining.\n[23] Public policy makers need to pay attention to the risks that are increasingly major contributors to global burden.\n[24] FUNDING Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation."}]}, {"role": "assistant", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Label: NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION\nRationale sentence ids: []\nExplanation: The provided abstract does not contain direct evidence to support or contradict the claim."}]}], "meta": {"dataset": "scifact", "split": "validation", "claim_id": 384, "doc_id": 13770184, "label": "NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION", "evidence_sentence_ids": [], "cited_doc_ids": [13770184], "variant": "nei_with_cited_abstract"}} {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Determine whether the claim is SUPPORTS, CONTRADICTS, or NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION based only on the provided abstract.

In contrast to previous in vitro studies, analysis of animals with combined inactivation of these enzymes revealed no overlapping or compensatory activities for V(D)J recombination between pol mu, pol lambda, and TdT.

reductions in risk-deleted DALY rates rather than reductions in exposure drove these declines.\n[15] Rising exposure contributed to notable increases in attributable DALYs from high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, occupational carcinogens, and drug use.\n[16] Environmental risks and childhood undernutrition declined steadily with SDI; low physical activity, high BMI, and high fasting plasma glucose increased with SDI.\n[17] In 119 countries, metabolic risks, such as high BMI and fasting plasma glucose, contributed the most attributable DALYs in 2015.\n[18] Regionally, smoking still ranked among the leading five risk factors for attributable DALYs in 109 countries; childhood underweight and unsafe sex remained primary drivers of early death and disability in much of sub-Saharan Africa.\n[19] INTERPRETATION Declines in some key environmental risks have contributed to declines in critical infectious diseases.\n[20] Some risks appear to be invariant to SDI.\n[21] Increasing risks, including high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, drug use, and some occupational exposures, contribute to rising burden from some conditions, but also provide opportunities for intervention.\n[22] Some highly preventable risks, such as smoking, remain major causes of attributable DALYs, even as exposure is declining.\n[23] Public policy makers need to pay attention to the risks that are increasingly major contributors to global burden.\n[24] FUNDING Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation."}]}, {"role": "assistant", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Label: CONTRADICTS\nRationale sentence ids: [13]\nExplanation: Evidence states: \"In 2015, the ten largest contributors to global DALYs among Level 3 risks were high systolic blood pressure (211·8 million [192·7 million to 231·1 million] global DALYs), smoking (148·6 million [134·2 million to 163·1 million]), high fasting plasma glucose (143·1 million [125·1 million to 163·5 million]), high BMI (120·1 million [83·8 million to 158·4 million]), childhood undernutrition (113·3 million [103·9 million to 123·4 million]), ambient particulate matter (103·1 million [90·8 million to 115·1 million]), high total cholesterol (88·7 million [74·6 million to 105·7 million]), household air pollution (85·6 million [66·7 million to 106·1 million]), alcohol use (85·0 million [77·2 million to 93·0 million]), and diets high in sodium (83·0 million [49·3 million to 127·5 million]).\".

These studies provided no support for a J-shaped relationship of birthweight to risk.\n[6] Support for an association with birthweight was also derived from studies based on three birth weight categories (OR 1.15 [95% CI 1.01 to 1.31] for > or =4,000 g relative to <3,000 g) and two birth weight categories (OR 1.09 [95% CI 1.02 to 1.18] for > or =3,000 g relative to <3,000 g).\n[7] Women born to older mothers and twins were also at some increased risk, but the results were heterogeneous across studies and publication years.\n[8] Birth order, prematurity, and maternal smoking were unrelated to breast cancer risk.\n[9] CONCLUSION Our findings provide some support for the hypothesis that in utero exposures reflective of higher endogenous hormone levels could affect risk for development of breast cancer in adulthood."}]}, {"role": "assistant", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Label: SUPPORTS\nRationale sentence ids: [5]\nExplanation: Evidence states: \"RESULTS We found that heavier birth weights were associated with increased breast cancer risk, with studies involving five categories of birth weight identifying odds ratios (ORs) of 1.24 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04 to 1.48) for 4,000 g or more and 1.15 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.26) for 3,500 g to 3,999 g, relative to a birth weight of 2,500 to 2,599 g.
