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 proposes a novel collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm that marginalizes model parameters and directly samples latent attribute mastery patterns in diagnostic classification models. This estimation method makes it possible to avoid boundary problems in the estimation of model item parameters by eliminating the need to estimate such parameters. A simulation study showed the collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm can accurately recover the true attribute mastery status in various conditions. A second simulation showed the collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm was computationally more efficient than another MCMC sampling algorithm, implemented by JAGS. In an analysis of real data, the collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm indicated good classification agreement with results from a previous study.
