There was a mistake in Figures 2 and 3, as well as Supplementary Figures 2 and 4 as published. In the original version of the article, we mistakenly used the beta coefficient for the association between log-PFOA and kidney cancer from Steenland et al., 2022, instead of its OR value.
The corrected Figures 2 and 3 appear below. The correct Supplementary Figures 2 and 4, have now been replaced.
In the Abstract, “0.59 (95% CI: 0.06–5.89)” was wrong.
This has been corrected to read:
“1.05 (95% CI: 0.69–1.60)”
In the Abstract, 0.98 (95% CI: 0.64–1.50) was wrong.
This has been corrected to read:
“1.36 (95% CI: 0.35–5.23)”
“0.59 (95% CI: 0.06–5.89)” was an error.
“(I² = 90%, P < 0.01)” was an error.
A correction has been made to the section Results, paragraph 3:
“1.05 (95% CI: 0.69–1.60)”
“(I^2^ = 77.4%, P = 0.012)”
“0.98 (95% CI: 0.64–1.50)” was an error.
“with no statistically significant heterogeneity among the studies (I² = 0%, i = 0.66).” was an error.
A correction has been made to the section Results, paragraph 3:
“1.36 (95% CI: 0.35–5.23)”
“with statistically significant heterogeneity among the studies (I^2^ = 77.0%, P = 0.013)”
“(P = 0.30 and P = 0.81, respectively)” was an error.
A correction has been made to the section Results, paragraph 3:
“(P = 0.49 and P = 0.30, respectively)”
“0.59 (95% CI: 0.06–5.76)” was an error.
“(I² = 89%, P < 0.0001)” was an error.
A correction has been made to the section Results, paragraph 5:
“1.05 (95% CI: 0.68–1.60)”
“(I^2^ = 77.5%, P = 0.012)”
“0.96 (95% CI: 0.64–1.45)” was an error.
“with no statistically significant heterogeneity among the studies (I² = 0%, P = 0.71).” was an error.
“(P = 0.37 and P = 0.58, respectively)” was an error.
A correction has been made to the section Results, paragraph 5:
“1.37 (95% CI: 0.35–5.35)”
“with statistically significant heterogeneity among the studies (I² = 76.9%, P = 0.013).”
“(P = 0.55, both)”
“0.75 (95% CI: 0.04–16.01)” was an error.
“with a significant heterogeneity among the studies (I² = 91%, P < 0.01).” was an error.
“(P = 0.74)” was an error.
A correction has been made to the section Results, paragraph 6:
“1.19 (95% CI: 0.92–1.53)”
“with no significant heterogeneity among the studies (I² = 20.8%, P = 0.28).”
“(P = 0.66)”
