Adjusted confidence intervals for a bounded parameter.
Article in Behavior genetics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It is well known that the regular likelihood ratio test of a bounded parameter is not valid if the boundary value is being tested. This is the case for testing the null value of a scalar variance component. Although an adjusted test of variance component has been suggested to account for the effect of its lower bound of zero, no adjustment of its interval estimate has ever been proposed. If left unadjusted, the confidence interval of the variance may still contain zero when the adjusted test rejects the null hypothesis of a zero variance, leading to conflicting conclusions. In this research, we propose two ways to adjust the confidence interval of a parameter subject to a lower bound, one based on the Wald test and the other on the likelihood ratio test. Both are compatible to the adjusted test and parametrization-invariant. A simulation study and two examples are given in the framework of ACDE models in twin studies.
