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

Public health researchers are often tasked with accurately and quickly identifying the location and time when an epidemic originated from a representative sample of nucleotide sequences. In this paper, we investigate multiple approaches to subsampling the sequence set when employing a Bayesian phylogeographic generalized linear model. Our results indicate that near-categorical posterior MCC estimates on the root can be obtained with replicate runs using 25-50% of the sequence data, and that including 90% of sequences does not necessarily entail more accurate inferences. We present the first analysis of predictor signal suppression and show how the ability to detect the influence of predictor variables is limited when sample size predictors are included in the models.
