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

A number of parametric and nonparametric methods for estimating cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) have been developed and applied in a wide range of contexts. However, in the literature, a wide chasm exists between these two families of methods, and their relationship to each other is not well understood. In this paper, we propose a unified estimation framework to bridge the divide between parametric and nonparametric methods in cognitive diagnosis to better understand their relationship. We also develop iterative joint estimation algorithms and establish consistency properties within the proposed framework. Lastly, we present comprehensive simulation results to compare different methods and provide practical recommendations on the appropriate use of the proposed framework in various CDM contexts.
