In the article entitled “The cardiovascular effect of musical genres—a randomized controlled study on the effect of compositions by W. A. Mozart, J. Strauss, and ABBA” by Hans-Joachim Trappe and Gabriele Voit in Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, in the issue of 20 May 2016, two incorrect numbers were cited in Table 1.
1) Intervention group, 6th row from the top, RR systolic (mm Hg): instead of “128.9 + 12.9”, it should say “123.9 + 12.9”. Table 2 reports this from baseline (mean) value correctly, and all explanations on systolic blood pressure relate to Table 2.
2) Control group, right hand column, category men, RR systolic (mm Hg): instead of “120.1 + 8.8”, it should say “130.1 + 8.8”.
Overall, all the information given and assertions made in the article relate to Tables 2–5, in which every single value is reported correctly. MWR?
