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

We describe and evaluate a regression tree algorithm for finding subgroups with differential treatments effects in randomized trials with multivariate outcomes. The data may contain missing values in the outcomes and covariates, and the treatment variable is not limited to two levels. Simulation results show that the regression tree models have unbiased variable selection and the estimates of subgroup treatment effects are approximately unbiased. A bootstrap calibration technique is proposed for constructing confidence intervals for the treatment effects. The method is illustrated with data from a longitudinal study comparing two diabetes drugs and a mammography screening trial comparing two treatments and a control.
