This is a correction to: Michael Hauptmann, Robert D Daniels, Elisabeth Cardis, Harry M Cullings, Gerald Kendall, Dominique Laurier, Martha S Linet, Mark P Little, Jay H Lubin, Dale L Preston, David B Richardson, Daniel O Stram, Isabelle Thierry-Chef, Mary K Schubauer-Berigan, Ethel S Gilbert, Amy Berrington de Gonzalez, Epidemiological Studies of Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation and Cancer: Summary Bias Assessment and Meta-Analysis, JNCI Monographs, Volume 2020, Issue 56, July 2020, Pages 188–200, https://doi.org/10.1093/jncimonographs/lgaa010 In the originally published version of this manuscript, in Supplementary table 1, the sign of the estimate for the Rocketdyne workers was wrong. The correct estimate is -0.02 instead of 0.02. Correct entries in the last two columns of this row are 0 instead of 1. In the row “ERR>0”, the last two columns should read “16 of 22” and “12 of 18”, respectively. Corresponding p-values in the line “p-value (1-sided)” should be 0.03 and 0.12, respectively. Updated supplementary data is given below. No corrections are necessary in the manuscript. These details have been corrected only in this correction notice to preserve the published version of record.
