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

Precision medicine is an important area of research with the goal of identifying the optimal treatment for each individual patient. In the literature, various methods are proposed to divide the population into subgroups according to the heterogeneous effects of individuals. In this paper, a new exploratory machine learning tool, named latent supervised clustering, is proposed to identify the heterogeneous subpopulations. In particular, we formulate the problem as a regression problem with subject specific coefficients, and use adaptive fusion to cluster the coefficients into subpopulations. This method has two main advantages. First, it relies on little prior knowledge and weak parametric assumptions on the underlying subpopulation structure. Second, it makes use of the outcome-predictor relationship, and hence can have competitive estimation and prediction accuracy. To estimate the parameters, we design a highly efficient accelerated proximal gradient algorithm which guarantees convergence at a competitive rate. Numerical studies show that the proposed method has competitive estimation and prediction accuracy, and can also produce interpretable clustering results for the underlying heterogeneous effect.
