Why do two papers on PIONEER-1 report different headline figures?

My laboratory results are from the same laboratory each time, drawn fasting, which I gather matters.

I want to know whether this is a real physical effect or an artefact of how it is measured.

What prompted the question is an inconsistency between two sources I otherwise trust.

What is the causal chain, and where does it stop being established?
