Review in PharmacoEconomics, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to consider Bayesian and frequentist inference methods for measures of incremental cost effectiveness in data obtained via a clinical trial. The most useful measure is the cost-effectiveness (C/E) acceptability curve. Recent publications on Bayesian estimation have assumed a normal posterior distribution, which ignores uncertainty in estimated variances, and suggest unnecessarily complicated methods of computation. We present a simple Bayesian computation for the C/E acceptability curve and a simple frequentist analogue. Our approach takes account of errors in estimated variances, resulting in calculations that are based on distributions rather than normal distributions. If inference is required about the C/E ratio, we argue that the standard frequentist procedures give unreliable or misleading inferences, and present instead a Bayesian interval.
