Approximation Bayesian Computation.
Article in OA genetics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Approximation Bayesian computation [ABC] is an analysis approach that has arisen in response to the recent trend to collect data that is of a magnitude far higher than has been historically the case. This has led to many existing methods become intractable because of difficulties in calculating the likelihood function. ABC circumvents this issue by replacing calculation of the likelihood with a simulation step in which it is estimated in one way or another. In this review we give an overview of the ABC approach, giving examples of some of the more popular specific forms of ABC. We then discuss some of the areas of most active research and application in the field, specifically, choice of low-dimensional summaries of complex datasets and metrics for measuring similarity between observed and simulated data. Next, we consider the question of how to do model selection in an ABC context. Finally, we discuss an area of growing prominence in the ABC world, use of ABC methods in genetic pathway inference.
