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

Parameter space partitioning (PSP) is a versatile tool for model analysis that detects the qualitatively distinctive data patterns a model can generate, and partitions a model's parameter space into regions corresponding to these patterns. In this paper, we propose a PSP fit measure that summarizes the outcome of a PSP analysis into a single number, which can be used for model selection. In contrast to traditional model selection methods, PSP-based model selection focuses on qualitative data. We demonstrate PSP-based model selection by use of application examples in the area of category learning. A large-scale model recovery study reveals excellent recovery properties, suggesting that PSP fit is useful for model selection.
