Estimating densities with non-linear support by using Fisher-Gaussian kernels.
Article in Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series B, Statistical methodology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Current tools for multivariate density estimation struggle when the density is concentrated near a non-linear subspace or manifold. Most approaches require the choice of a kernel, with the multivariate Gaussian kernel by far the most commonly used. Although heavy-tailed and skewed extensions have been proposed, such kernels cannot capture curvature in the support of the data. This leads to poor performance unless the sample size is very large relative to the dimension of the data. The paper proposes a novel generalization of the Gaussian distribution, which includes an additional curvature parameter. We refer to the proposed class as Fisher-Gaussian kernels, since they arise by sampling from a von Mises-Fisher density on the sphere and adding Gaussian noise. The Fisher-Gaussian density has an analytic form and is amenable to straightforward implementation within Bayesian mixture models by using Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. We provide theory on large support and illustrate gains relative to competitors in simulated and real data applications.
