First clear evidence cell phone radiation can cause cancer in rats

The quartz article is reporting on the peer review of the resarch, not the research itself. The independent experts who reviewed the paper decided that the results of the research were understated.

This is made very clear in the quartz article:

A re-evaluation of the data

When the draft results of the papers were published earlier this year, all results were labeled “equivocal,” meaning the study authors felt the data weren’t clear enough to determine if the radiation caused the health effects or not. But the panel of peer reviewers (among them brain and heart pathologists, toxicologists, biostaticians, and engineers) re-evaluated the data and upgraded several of the conclusions to “some evidence” and “clear evidence.”

The non-exposed rats are more likely to die than the exposed ones. That's the important part of the study. I'm not sure what kind of "independent expert" will "reevaluate" the data to underline risks that don't actually matter.

>> The non-exposed rats are more likely to die than the exposed ones.

If I understand correctly, that was the information that was re-evaluated.
