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

It is often challenging to share detailed individual-level data among studies due to various informatics and privacy constraints. However, it is relatively easy to pool together aggregated summary level data, such as the ones required for standard meta-analyses. Focusing on data generated from case-control studies, we present a flexible inference procedure that integrates individual-level data collected from an "internal" study with summary data borrowed from "external" studies. This procedure is built on a retrospective empirical likelihood framework to account for the sampling bias in case-control studies. It can incorporate summary statistics extracted from various working models adopted by multiple independent or overlapping external studies. It also allows for external studies to be conducted in a population that is different from the internal study population. We show both theoretically and numerically its efficiency advantage over several competing alternatives.
