A matrix with 31 rows and 5 columns. Each row represents study results, the columns are:

Total number of patients in the trial.
Number of detected discrepancies in the published trial. Discrepancies are defined as two or more reported facts that cannot both be true because they are logically or mathematically incompatible.
