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

This paper presents a new simplex-type algorithm for Linear Programming with the following two main characteristics: (i) the algorithm computes basic solutions which are neither primal or dual feasible, nor monotonically improving and (ii) the sequence of these basic solutions is connected with a sequence of monotonically improving interior points to construct a feasible direction at each iteration. We compare the proposed algorithm with the state-of-the-art commercial CPLEX and Gurobi Primal-Simplex optimizers on a collection of 93 well known benchmarks. The results are promising, showing that the new algorithm competes versus the state-of-the-art solvers in the total number of iterations required to converge.
