BRIDGING RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS AND SINGLE-ARM TRIALS USING COMMENSURATE PRIORS IN ARM-BASED NETWORK META-ANALYSIS.
Article in The annals of applied statistics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a powerful tool to compare multiple treatments directly and indirectly by combining and contrasting multiple independent clinical trials. Because many NMAs collect only a few eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs), there is an urgent need to synthesize different sources of information, e.g., from both RCTs and single-arm trials. However, single-arm trials and RCTs may have different populations and quality, so that assuming they are exchangeable may be inappropriate. This article presents a novel method using a
