This record contains the complete analysis pipeline and every result file underlying the study"Non-specific between-drug differences in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System are large andubiquitous: an empirical-null audit of 26 drug pairs". Contents: S_code/ (47 Python scripts and a pinned requirements file, implementing FAERS ingest anddeduplication, empirical-null panel construction, random-effects and false-discovery-rate testing,bootstrap calibration, time-to-onset analysis, and the JADER replication); S_data/ (48 CSV tables ofpanel estimates, formal test results, sensitivity analyses and JADER replication outputs); README.md(re-analysis guide); and REPLICATION_PROTOCOL.md (the pre-specified JADER replication plan writtenbefore the data were accessed).
