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

The Pattern Sequence Forecasting (PSF) algorithm is a previously described algorithm that identifies patterns in time series data and forecasts values using periodic characteristics of the observations. A new method for univariate time series is introduced that modifies the PSF algorithm to simultaneously forecast and backcast missing values for imputation. The imputePSF method extends PSF by characterizing repeating patterns of existing observations to provide a more precise estimate of missing values compared to more conventional methods, such as replacement with means or last observation carried forward. The imputation accuracy of imputePSF was evaluated by simulating varying amounts of missing observations with three univariate datasets. Comparisons of imputePSF with well-established methods using the same simulations demonstrated an overall reduction in error estimates. The imputePSF algorithm can produce more precise imputations on appropriate datasets, particularly those with periodic and repeating patterns.
