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

The minimun description length (MDL) is a powerful criterion for model selection that is gaining increasing interest from both theorists and practicioners. It allows for automatic selection of the best model for representing data without having a priori information about them. It simply uses both data and model complexity, selecting the model that provides the least coding length among a predefined set of models. In this paper, we briefly review the basic ideas underlying the MDL criterion and its applications in different fields, with particular reference to the dimension reduction problem. As an example, the role of MDL in the selection of the best principal components in the well known PCA is investigated.
