Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Did SARS-CoV-2 begin through a research-related laboratory incident?

Qualifies

The Huanan early-epicenter paper received a formal erratum that corrected associated data files without changing its reported statistical results, while an independent peer-reviewed statistical critique argues that geographic centrality does not by itself identify the epidemic origin.

This limits how strongly market-centered case geography can be translated into a causal origin conclusion.
