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

Missing data are frequently encountered in high dimensional problems, but they are usually difficult to deal with by using standard algorithms, such as the expectation-maximization algorithm and its variants. To tackle this difficulty, some problem-specific algorithms have been developed in the literature, but there still lacks a general algorithm. This work is to fill the gap: we propose a general algorithm for high dimensional missing data problems. The algorithm works by iterating between an imputation step and a regularized optimization step. At the imputation step, the missing data are imputed conditionally on the observed data and the current estimates of parameters and, at the regularized optimization step, a consistent estimate is found via the regularization approach for the minimizer of a Kullback-Leibler divergence defined on the pseudocomplete data. For high dimensional problems, the consistent estimate can be found under sparsity constraints. The consistency of the averaged estimate for the true parameter can be established under quite general conditions. The algorithm is illustrated by using high dimensional Gaussian graphical models, high dimensional variable selection and a random-coefficient model.
