Bayesian multivariate skew meta-regression models for individual patient data.
Article in Statistical methods in medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We examine a class of multivariate meta-regression models in the presence of individual patient data. The methodology is well motivated from several studies of cholesterol-lowering drugs where the goal is to jointly analyze the multivariate outcomes, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. These three continuous outcome measures are correlated and shed much light on a subject's lipid status. One of the main goals in lipid research is the joint analysis of these three outcome measures in a meta-regression setting. Since these outcome measures are not typically multivariate normal, one must consider classes of distributions that allow for skewness in one or more of the outcomes. In this paper, we consider a new general class of multivariate skew distributions for multivariate meta-regression and examine their theoretical properties. Using these distributions, we construct a Bayesian model for the meta-data and develop an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo computational scheme for carrying out the computations. In addition, we develop a multivariate
