What this work gives Aellic

5,109,185 person-days from 20,968 participants: women are affected more strongly (resting heart rate +2.8 bpm versus +2.4 bpm in men) — but the paper publishes NO multiplier, only absolute sex-separated differences. Hence no sex multiplier in Aellic; the per-person learned effect absorbs it in any case.

The entry on the register was wrong. It was not replaced but kept, with what holds instead standing next to it.
