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

Feature screening plays an important role in dimension reduction for ultrahigh-dimensional data. In this paper, we introduce a new feature screening method and establish its sure independence screening property under the ultrahigh-dimensional setting. The proposed method works based on the nonparanormal transformation and Henze-Zirkler's test; that is, it first transforms the response variable and features to Gaussian random variables using the nonparanormal transformation and then tests the dependence between the response variable and features using the Henze-Zirkler's test. The proposed method enjoys at least two merits. First, it is model-free, which avoids the specification of a particular model structure. Second, it is condition-free, which does not require any extra conditions except for some regularity conditions for high-dimensional feature screening. The numerical results indicate that, compared to the existing methods, the proposed method is more robust to the data generated from heavy-tailed distributions and/or complex models with interaction variables. The proposed method is applied to screening of anticancer drug response genes.
