Profile Likelihood-Based Confidence Intervals and Regions for Structural Equation Models.
Article in Psychometrika, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Structural equation models (SEM) are widely used for modeling complex multivariate relationships among measured and latent variables. Although several analytical approaches to interval estimation in SEM have been developed, there lacks a comprehensive review of these methods. We review the popular Wald-type and lesser known likelihood-based methods in linear SEM, emphasizing profile likelihood-based confidence intervals (CIs). Existing algorithms for computing profile likelihood-based CIs are described, including two newer algorithms which are extended to construct profile likelihood-based confidence regions (CRs). Finally, we illustrate the use of these CIs and CRs with two empirical examples, and provide practical recommendations on when to use Wald-type CIs and CRs versus profile likelihood-based CIs and CRs. OpenMx example code is provided in an Online Appendix for constructing profile likelihood-based CIs and CRs for SEM.
