Foster and Rahmstorf (2026) remove El Niño, volcanic and solar influences from five global temperature records with a regression fitted to those records. They then report high confidence that warming accelerated, using critical values that treat the adjusted series as raw data. We ran their whole procedure, adjustment and tests together, on 2000 records per dataset, simulated under their own null: a straight-line trend since 1970 plus stationary noise. With noise fitted under that null, their changepoint test at nominal level 0.05 rejected 0.059 to 0.07 of null records, and the observed statistics had full-pipeline p of 0.0005 to 0.0025 in every record. Their quadratic test fared worse, with full-pipeline p up to 0.054. Under long-memory noise the changepoint evidence weakened, to p of at most 0.04, but held. The acceleration finding rests on the changepoint test.

• Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: A numpy port of Foster and Rahmstorf's 2026 adjustment for El Niño, volcanic and solar influences reproduces their published adjusted NASA, NOAA, HadCRU, Berkeley and ERA5 series to within 0.0001 °C, and the changepoint test of Beaulieu et al. (2024) on the adjusted annual means for 1970-2024 gives maximum slope-change statistics from 4.91 to 6.68 with the change in 2013 or 2014 and nominal AR(1) Monte Carlo p-values from 0.00014 to 0.0033, against 0.041 to 0.19 for the unadjusted series.
• Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: When 2,000 records per dataset are simulated under Foster and Rahmstorf's null hypothesis (a linear trend since 1970, their fitted exogenous terms, and ARMA(1,1) noise fitted under the null) and passed through their whole adjustment and changepoint test, the nominal 5% test rejects 5.9% to 7.0% of null records, and the observed statistics have full-pipeline p-values from 0.0005 to 0.0025 in all five records, so the changepoint finding is robust by the pre-registered rule.
• Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Under the same full-pipeline null, Foster and Rahmstorf's quadratic test with the ARMA(1,1) correction of Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) rejects 5.8% to 8.0% of null records at nominal 5% on monthly values and 7.2% to 9.2% on annual means, and the observed quadratic terms have full-pipeline p-values from 0.0015 to 0.054 (monthly) and 0.0005 to 0.032 (annual), below 0.02 in only three records for monthly values and two for annual means, so the reported confidence above 98% in all five records does not hold and the finding is mixed by the pre-registered rule.

Many papers relate one National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) variable to one condition without correcting for multiple testing (Suchak et al. (2025)). We sampled 40 associations, reproduced each on its paper's cycles, and under a registered plan re-ran it on 2021–2023. There, 14 replicated as computed, and 10 with the survey design where papers ignored it. Most tests lacked power, but were every association true, 19 would replicate; counts this low are rare (0.047, or 0.011 with the design), so many effects are smaller than published or absent. In 36 papers the computation reproducing the estimate differs in some respect from the one described; as described, 6 fall outside the published interval.

• Published.Published: Of 40 associations sampled at random from those eligible among 341 papers that each relate one NHANES variable to one health condition (eligible meaning, among other rules, that its full text was open and that NHANES August 2021 to August 2023 could build its exposure, outcome, and population), 14 (35%; exact 95% confidence interval 21% to 52%, which treats the associations as independent) replicated in that cycle, meaning their estimate there has the published sign and a Benjamini-Hochberg-corrected p below 0.05, with each analysis computed as its paper's was. Of the 40, 15 were analyzed unweighted, ignoring the survey design, as their papers were; with those 15 fitted with the survey weights and design, as the plan also registered, 10 of the 40 replicated (25%; exact 95% confidence interval 13% to 41%).
• Published.Published: At an unadjusted two-sided alpha of 0.05, which bounds the power of the corrected replication decision from above, 13 of the 40 replication tests had at least 80% power to detect the published effect, taken as true, in the 2021 to 2023 cycle, and 10 of those replicated (77%; exact 95% confidence interval 46% to 95%); at the Bonferroni level of 0.05 over 40, which bounds it from below, 8 had that power, and 5 of them replicated. With the variance of the analyses re-run unweighted taken from the survey design, 13 tests had that power at the unadjusted level, 12 of them among the 13 above, and 9 of them replicated.
• Published.Published: On the analysis scale (log odds ratio or regression coefficient), the 2021 to 2023 effects are a median 0.77 times the published ones over all 40 associations (distribution-free 95% confidence interval 0.32 to 1.05) and 0.91 times (0.32 to 1.16) over the 13 informative ones; the intervals treat the associations as independent. The median is 0.53 over the 15 analyses re-run unweighted and 0.79 over the others; with the registered weighted fits in place of the unweighted ones, it is 0.85 (0.35 to 1.08).

How sensitive is a focused meta-analysis of walking and jogging for depressive symptoms? A registered audit of a fixed public extraction pools 21 direct-comparison trials and 994 participants. Post-treatment Hedges g is -0.762, with a confidence interval from -1.203 to -0.321. Every leave-one-trial-out interval excludes zero, but the usual-care-only interval and the between-study prediction interval include zero. No included trial has an overall low-risk-of-bias rating. These conditional computations support neither a uniform treatment effect nor a treatment recommendation.
