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

In this study, we focus on mixed data which are either observations of univariate random variables which can be quantitative or qualitative, or observations of multivariate random variables such that each variable can include both quantitative and qualitative components. We first propose a novel method, called CMIh, to estimate conditional mutual information taking advantages of the previously proposed approaches for qualitative and quantitative data. We then introduce a new local permutation test, called LocAT for local adaptive test, which is well adapted to mixed data. Our experiments illustrate the good behaviour of CMIh and LocAT, and show their respective abilities to accurately estimate conditional mutual information and to detect conditional (in)dependence for mixed data.
