Non-randomized and randomized stepped-wedge designs using an orthogonalized least squares framework.
Article in Statistical methods in medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Randomized stepped-wedge (R-SW) designs are increasingly used to evaluate interventions targeting continuous longitudinal outcomes measured at T-fixed time points. Typically, all units start out untreated, and randomly chosen units switch to intervention at sequential time points until all receive intervention. As randomization is not always feasible, non-randomized stepped-wedge (NR-SW) designs (units switching to intervention are not randomly chosen) have attracted researchers. We develop an orthogonlized generalized least squares framework for both R-SW and NR-SW designs. The variance of the intervention effect estimate depends on the number of steps ( S), length of step sizes ( t
