Sentences

Hi,

Can somebody please help me with the sentences?
Regards,
Fizzi 

1- Relatively, only few Xs were noted to provide Ys in four studies, but one study reported all Xs surveyed provided Ys. However, the later <<< do you mean 'later' or 'latter'? study had __  __.

 'Relatively, only few' seems awkward. Relatively to what? Do you perhaps mean 'Relatively few. . . '? I would say 'another study' or perhaps 'a later study'. 

2- Of the three studies provided information on Xs explicitly reported Y, no Y appeared except in one study which was only in 1 % of the Xs.

Of the three studies which provided information on Xs explicitly reported Y, no Y appeared except in one study which was only in 1 % of the Xs.

What does the phrase 'explicitly reported Y' relate to or mean here?

'Except in one study which was only in 1 % of the Xs' is very hard to understand. Maybe if I understood the details of X and Y, this would be clearer.

Overall, Fizzi, I don't find these sentences very clear or easy to understand. Perhaps you might like to reword them and post again.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi,

1-  In four studies, only a few newspapers were noted to provide inaccurate information but, in another study, all newspapers surveyed provided inaccurate information. However ,the latter study had a small sample size. This sentence is much better now.

2- Of the three studies which provided information on newspapers which explicitly (exclusively?) reported Y, there was no Y presence except in one study which was only available in 1 % of the newspapers. This sentence is still extremely unclear to me. Can you break it up into two or more shorter ones?
