Claims & tasks

Every claim the paper makes in its main body about a parameter, joined to the benchmark task (dataset · coefficient) that captures it. The effect, s.e. and p are the captured regression's own reported values (the paper's Stata figures, carrying the paper's SE method); the row shows the paper's verbatim quote (page · exhibit), so you can confirm the regression matches what the paper says. The prominence column is the within-study inclusion signal (⭐ headline → primary → secondary). The sensitivity column is the privacy level of the most-sensitive variable in the regression (🔴 high / 🟠 medium / ⚪ low).

#	prominence	sensitivity	claim	effect	s.e.	p	task	instance `(dataset · coef)`
C1	⭐ primary	🔴 high	Specifically, a 1 standard deviation increase in daily cases decreases the probability of receiving an appointment offer by 7.5 percentage points (statistically significant at the 10 percent level), a 13.3 percent decrease compared to the average appointment offer rate of 56.6 percent. p. 421 · Table 1, col 1 ((1))	-0.078	0.040	0.056	Linear Regression	`reg_1 · stdSTCasesT` n=1000 · d=28
C2	⭐ primary	🔴 high	A 1 standard deviation increase in weekly excess deaths is associated with a 5.6 percentage point, or 9.9 percent, decrease in the appointment offer rate (although this estimate is not statistically significant). p. 422 · Table 1, col 2 ((2))	-0.055	0.029	0.057	Linear Regression	`reg_2 · stdSTExLowEstT` n=1000 · d=27
C3	secondary	🔴 high	The standardized quantity of statewide daily deaths has no statistically significant effect on the outcome. p. 421 · Table 1, col 1 ((1))	+0.070	0.046	0.131	Linear Regression	`reg_1 · stdSTDeathsT` n=1000 · d=28
