Conformance to CSF – IBC risk versus non-dissolved barium

Test case (Figure 1(a)–1(d))	SIR – assigned risk to culprit sub-location	Positive slope (mg·L⁻¹)⁻¹ required	Correlation coefficient = 1 ideal	y-Intercept = 0 ideal
Test measure →	–	Yes/no	≈1/ ≠ 1	≈0/ ≠ 0
1a. Unadjusted − 10 women	6.02	274 Yes	0.99943 ≈ 1	0.029 ≈ 0
1b. Biostatistics error − 11 women	6.63	301 Yes	0.99987 ≈ 1	0.015 ≈ 0
1c. Lower SIR 95% CI bound	2.9	132 Yes	0.9724 ≈ 1	0.10 ≈ 0
1d. Upper SIR 95% CI bound	11.1	505 Yes	0.9986 ≈ 1	−0.09 ≈ 0
