If a batsman is given out LBW but then reviews it, and on the review the ball is pitching just outside the stumps or hitting the edge of the wickets but still within the 'standard error of measurement', then the bastman is out as per the umpire's call. Same as if given not out and the fielding team reviews it - the batsman would then be not out as per the umpire. Same as for catches - the 3rd umpire has have enough evidence to overrule the umpire, otherwise it goes back to the umpire's decision. The only instance (they may be more, i dunnno) that benefit of the doubt would apply to the bastman would be in the case of a disputed catch, were the umpire's are unsure the ask the 3rd umpire (hence not a player review) - again, the 3rd umpire needs to have strong evdience or definitive proof that the ball carried to give the bastman out.
