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

Measurement error/misclassification is commonplace in research when variable(s) can notbe measured accurately. A number of statistical methods have been developed to tackle this problemin a variety of settings and contexts. However, relatively few methods are available to handlemisclassified categorical exposure variable(s) in the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Inthis paper, we aim to review and compare different methods to handle this problem - naïvemethods, regression calibration, pooled estimation, multiple imputation, corrected score estimation,and MC-SIMEX - by simulation. These methods are also applied to a life course study with recalleddata and historical records. In practice, the issue of measurement error/misclassification should beaccounted for in design and analysis, whenever possible. Also, in the analysis, it could be moreideal to implement more than one correction method for estimation and inference, with properunderstanding of underlying assumptions.
