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

Biosignatures such as brain scans, mass spectrometry, or gene expression profiles might one day be used to guide treatment selection and improve outcomes. This article develops a way of estimating optimal treatment policies based on data from randomized clinical trials by interpreting patient biosignatures as functional predictors. A flexible functional regression model is used to represent the treatment effect and construct the estimated policy. The effectiveness of the estimated policy is assessed by furnishing prediction intervals for the mean outcome when all patients follow the policy. The validity of these prediction intervals is established under mild regularity conditions on the functional regression model. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated in numerical studies.
