Invited Commentary: Frontiers of Power Assessment in Mediation Analysis.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The development of tools for power and sample-size calculations for mediation analysis has lagged far behind the development of methods. The accompanying paper by Rudolph et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2020;189(12):1559-1567) is a helpful contribution in using simulations as a tool for power calculations for more complex methods and settings. Much work remains to be done in the development of easy-to-use packages and simple online websites for carrying out power and sample-size calculations for mediation analysis. Much remains to be learned with respect to the relative power of different methods in different settings. There will likely be feedback between these 2 important frontiers of the tools we have available and of our understanding of power when conducting mediation analysis.
