Spatial scan statistics for matched case-control data.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Spatial scan statistics are widely used for cluster detection analysis in geographical disease surveillance. While this method has been developed for various types of data such as binary, count, and continuous data, spatial scan statistics for matched case-control data, which often arise in spatial epidemiology, have not been considered. We propose spatial scan statistics for matched case-control data. The proposed test statistics consider the correlations between matched pairs. We evaluate the statistical power and cluster detection accuracy of the proposed methods through simulations compared to the Bernoulli-based method. We illustrate the proposed methods using a real data example. The simulation study clearly revealed that the proposed methods had higher power and higher accuracy for detecting spatial clusters for matched case-control data than the Bernoulli-based spatial scan statistic. The cluster detection result of the real data example also appeared to reflect a higher power of the proposed methods. The proposed methods are very useful for spatial cluster detection for matched case-control data.
