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

This study presents an application of linear programming discriminant analysis (LPDA) to classify and to predict the symptomatic status of HIV/AIDS patients. We applied LPDA as well as several traditional discriminant analysis methods to the AIDS Cost and Services Utilization Survey data set in order to demonstrate the use of LPDA to classify the symptomatic status of HIV/AIDS patients. The potential benefit of LPDA in terms of the classification accuracy was also analyzed.
