January 2020.
Dr Frisch sent us the following clarification:–
Regrettably, I’ve overstated the noise-to-signal ratio in the qualitative synthesis paper by Shabanzadeh et al (discussed around 14:30-16:25 in my presentation):
Of the 38 included studies, six (not five) studies (i.e., 16%, not 13%) actually dealt with male circumcision performed in infancy or childhood. Consequently, the noise-to-signal ratio was 84% noise vs 16% signal, and not 87% noise vs 13% signal.
I apologize for this inaccuracy.
