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

Cardiovascular research generates a large variety of data including big and small datasets that pose interesting challenges to researchers in biomedical statistics. This paper covers a number of important methodology issues and the solutions that have been applied so far to try to solve them. The first issue is multiple testing and the use of false discovery rates to correct for multiplicity. This is illustrated with an application related to genotyping heart diseases. The second is measuring life extension at present and in the future. The third one is the issue of U and J curves and the questions they present. Finally, this paper studies visit-to-visit blood pressure variability as a predictor of cardiovascular events.
