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 maximum entropy method (MEM) has been used in many studies to reliably recover effective lifetimes from kinetics, whether measured experimentally or simulated computationally. Here, recent claims made by Mulligan et al. regarding MEM analyses of kinetics (Anal. Biochem. 421 (2012) 181-190) are shown to be unfounded. Their assertion that their software allows "analysis of datasets too noisy to process by existing iterative search algorithms" is refuted with a MEM analysis of their triexponential test case with increased noise. In addition, it is shown that lifetime distributions recovered from noisy kinetics data with the MEM can be improved by using a simple filter when bootstrapping the prior model. When deriving the bootstrapped model from the lifetime distribution obtained using a uniform model, only the slower processes are represented as Gaussians in the bootstrapped model. Using this new approach, results are clearly superior to those of Mulligan et al. despite the presence of increased noise. In a second example, ambiguity in the interpretation of Poisson kinetics in the presence of scattered excitation light is resolved by filtering the prior model.
