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

Clustering is a major unsupervised learning algorithm and is widely applied in data mining and statistical data analyses. Typical examples include k-means, fuzzy c-means, and Gaussian mixture models, which are categorized into hard, soft, and model-based clusterings, respectively. We propose a new clustering, called Pareto clustering, based on the Kolmogorov-Nagumo average, which is defined by a survival function of the Pareto distribution. The proposed algorithm incorporates all the aforementioned clusterings plus maximum-entropy clustering. We introduce a probabilistic framework for the proposed method, in which the underlying distribution to give consistency is discussed. We build the minorize-maximization algorithm to estimate the parameters in Pareto clustering. We compare the performance with existing methods in simulation studies and in benchmark dataset analyses to demonstrate its highly practical utilities.
