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

purposeWhen information is sparse, individual parameters derived from a non-linear mixed effects model analysis can shrink to the mean. The objective of this work was to predict individual parameter shrinkage from the Bayesian information matrix (M BF ). We 1) Propose and evaluate an approximation of M BF by First-Order linearization (FO), 2) Explore by simulations the relationship between shrinkage and precision of estimates and 3) Evaluate prediction of shrinkage and individual parameter precision.

methodsWe approximated M BF using FO. From the shrinkage formula in linear mixed effects models, we derived the predicted shrinkage from M BF . Shrinkage values were generated for parameters of two pharmacokinetic models by varying the structure and the magnitude of the random effect and residual error models as well as the design. We then evaluated the approximation of M BF FO and compared it to Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations. We finally compared expected and observed shrinkage as well as the predicted and estimated Standard Errors (SE) of individual parameters.

resultsM BF FO was similar to M BF MC. Predicted and observed shrinkages were close . Predicted and estimated SE were similar.

conclusionsM BF FO enables prediction of shrinkage and SE of individual parameters. It can be used for design optimization.
