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

Longitudinal data are very popular in practice, but they are often missing in either outcomes or time-dependent risk factors, making them highly unbalanced and complex. Missing data may contain various missing patterns or mechanisms, and how to properly handle it for unbiased and valid inference still presents a significant challenge. Here, we propose a novel semiparametric framework for analyzing longitudinal data with both missing responses and covariates that are missing at random and intermittent, a general and widely encountered situation in observational studies. Within this framework, we consider multiple robust estimation procedures based on innovative calibrated propensity scores, which offers additional relaxation of the misspecification of missing data mechanisms and shows more satisfactory numerical performance. Also, the corresponding robust information criterion on consistent variable selection for our proposed model is developed based on empirical likelihood-based methods. These advocated methods are evaluated in both theory and extensive simulation studies in a variety of situations, showing competing properties and advantages compared to the existing approaches. We illustrate the utility of our approach by analyzing the data from the HIV Epidemiology Research Study.
