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

Recently, Wang and Tchetgen Tchetgen (2018) showed that the global average treatment effect is identifiable even in the presence of unmeasured confounders so long as they do not modify the instrument's additive effect on the treatment. We use a simple and direct method to show that this no-interaction assumption allows identification of the entire outcome distribution, which leads to multiply robust estimation procedures for nonlinear functionals like the quantile and Mann-Whitney treatment effects. Similarly, we can bound these causal estimands through the outcome distribution in sensitivity analysis against confounder-instrument interaction.
