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

Multiple outcomes are often collected simultaneously in biomedical fields in order to identify whether a continuous response and an ordinal response are associated with some covariates simultaneously. Here we propose a joint statistical model by the use of a latent variable underlying the ordinal response. Asymptotic results are obtained and a jointly test is proposed for testing the continuous response and the ordinal response are associated with some covariates simultaneously. Extensive simulations and real data analysis results indicate more efficient performances of the proposed method than that of the combined p-values method.
