Error with Table 6 - Correction from authors

Posted by nuff_cvp on 16 Jul 2013 at 14:56 GMT

We have identified an error with Table 6, where significant levels of some outcomes are shown incorrectly.
We have been in touch with PLoS one, and hope a correction will soon be made.

The results for Working Memory (Digit Forwards) should read as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatty Acid Std. Coeffs. Raw. Coeffs Pvalue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA: 0.14; 5.26; 0.002
DHA: 0.14; 2.12; 0.001
Omega-3 Index: 0.16; 1.9; <0.001
Total Omega-3 : 0.13; 1.25; 0.003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
