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

Using the well-known strategy in which parameters are linked to the sampling distribution via an identification analysis, we offer an interpretation of the item parameters in the one-parameter logistic with guessing model (1PL-G) and the nested Rasch model. The interpretations are based on measures of informativeness that are defined in terms of odds of correctly answering the items. It is shown that the interpretation of what is called the difficulty parameter in the random-effects 1PL-G model differs from that of the item parameter in a random-effects Rasch model. It is also shown that the traditional interpretation of the guessing parameter in the 1PL-G model changes, depending on whether fixed-effects or random-effects versions of both models are considered.
