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

Extracting important features from ultra-high dimensional data is one of the primary tasks in statistical learning, information theory, precision medicine and biological discovery. Many of the sure independent screening methods developed to meet these needs are suitable for special models under some assumptions. With the availability of more data types and possible models, a model-free generic screening procedure with fewer and less restrictive assumptions is desirable. In this paper, we propose a generic nonparametric sure independence screening procedure, called BCor-SIS, on the basis of a recently developed universal dependence measure: Ball correlation. We show that the proposed procedure has strong screening consistency even when the dimensionality is an exponential order of the sample size without imposing sub-exponential moment assumptions on the data. We investigate the flexibility of this procedure by considering three commonly encountered challenging settings in biological discovery or precision medicine: iterative BCor-SIS, interaction pursuit, and survival outcomes. We use simulation studies and real data analyses to illustrate the versatility and practicability of our BCor-SIS method.
