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

Wu and Browne (Psychometrika, 79, 2015) have proposed an innovative approach to modeling discrepancy between a covariance structure model and the population that the model is intended to represent. Their contribution is related to ongoing developments in the field of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) on modeling and quantifying effects of model discrepancy. We provide an overview of basic principles of UQ and some relevant developments and we examine the Wu-Browne work in that context. We view the Wu-Browne contribution as a seminal development providing a foundation for further work on the critical problem of model discrepancy in statistical modeling in psychological research.
