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

The present study aims to compare the robustness under various conditions of latent class analysis mixture modeling approaches that deal with auxiliary distal outcomes. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to test the performance of four approaches recommended by previous simulation studies: maximum likelihood (ML) assuming homoskedasticity (ML_E), ML assuming heteroskedasticity (ML_U), BCH, and LTB. For all investigated simulation conditions, the BCH approach yielded the most unbiased estimates of class-specific distal outcome means. This study has implications for researchers looking to apply recommended latent class analysis mixture modeling approaches in that nonnormality, which has been not fully considered in previous studies, was taken into account to address the distributional form of distal outcomes.
