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

For many practical problems, the regression models follow the strong heredity property (also known as the marginality), which means they include parent main effects when a second-order effect is present. Existing methods rely mostly on special penalty functions or algorithms to enforce the strong heredity in variable selection. We propose a novel hierarchical standardization procedure to maintain strong heredity in variable selection. Our method is effortless to implement and is applicable to any variable selection method for any type of regression. The performance of the hierarchical standardization is comparable to that of the regular standardization. We also provide robustness checks and real data analysis to illustrate the merits of our method.
