    Before

    Involving 2,141 participants across 24 laboratories in multiple countries | (FAQ, unfixed) ...involving 2,141 participants across 24 laboratories found no evidence...

    After

    Involving 2,141 participants across 23 laboratories in multiple countries | (FAQ, fixed) ...involving 2,141 participants across 23 laboratories found no evidence...

    Why: The body text was already correctly fixed to '23 laboratories', but the FAQ (JSON-LD schema) still had the stale, uncorrected figure: 'across 24 laboratories'. Fixed the FAQ answer to read '23 laboratories', matching the Hagger et al. (2016) replication study's actual lab count and the corrected body text.
