Pitfalls in subgroup analysis based on growth mixture models: a commentary on Van Leeuwen et al. (2012).
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivesThis article is a brief commentary in response to "van Leeuwen et al. (Qual Life Res 21:1499-1508, 2012)" METHODS AND
resultsThe commentary argues that in the context of mixture modeling, assigning individuals to specific subgroups for conducting a secondary set of analyses ignores the original uncertainty in group membership, thereby biasing any subsequent results and inference.
conclusionsAlternative approaches to subgroup analysis that attempt to preserve uncertainty in group membership are discussed and illustrated.
