Incorrect Data Analysis: In the Review entitled “Circumcision Status and Risk of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: A Meta-analysis” published in the October 8, 2008, issue of JAMA (2008;300[14]:1674-1684), the authors have identified an error that occurred in the spreadsheet computations of the random-effects variance estimate. This had the effect of altering the random-effects summary odds ratios, some of the power estimates, and some interpretation of the odds ratios. Although the values have changed, the pattern of nonsignificant findings remains consistent with the originally published article. Based on the corrected reanalysis, the following changes should be made to the text.
