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

Researchers across many domains of psychology increasingly wish to arrive at personalized and generalizable dynamic models of individuals' processes. This is seen in psychophysiological, behavioral, and emotional research paradigms, across a range of data types. Errors of measurement are inherent in most data. For this reason, researchers typically gather multiple indicators of the same latent construct and use methods, such as factor analysis, to arrive at scores from these indices. In addition to accurately measuring individuals, researchers also need to find the model that best describes the relations among the latent constructs. Most currently available data-driven searches do not include latent variables. We present an approach that builds from the strong foundations of group iterative multiple model estimation (GIMME), the idiographic filter, and model implied instrumental variables with two-stage least squares estimation (MIIV-2SLS) to provide researchers with the option to include latent variables in their data-driven model searches. The resulting approach is called latent variable GIMME (LV-GIMME). GIMME is utilized for the data-driven search for relations that exist among latent variables. Unlike other approaches such as the idiographic filter, LV-GIMME does not require that the latent variable model to be constant across individuals. This requirement is loosened by utilizing MIIV-2SLS for estimation. Simulated data studies demonstrate that the method can reliably detect relations among latent constructs, and that latent constructs provide more power to detect effects than using observed variables directly. We use empirical data examples drawn from functional MRI and daily self-report data. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
