Clustering spatio-temporal series of confirmed COVID-19 deaths in Europe.
Article in Spatial statistics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic varied significantly across different countries, with important consequences in the definition of control and response strategies. In this work, to investigate the heterogeneity of this crisis, we analyse the spatial patterns of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in several European countries. To this end, we propose a Bayesian nonparametric approach, based on mixture of Gaussian processes coupled with Dirichlet process, to group the COVID-19 mortality curves. The model provides a flexible framework for the analysis of time series data, allowing the inclusion in the clustering procedure of different features of the series, such as spatial correlations, time varying parameters and measurement errors. We evaluate the proposed methodology on the death counts recorded at NUTS-2 regional level for several European countries in the period from March 2020 to February 2021.
