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

The continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) statistic is a popular model change measure that was developed to assess the incremental value of new factors in a risk prediction model. Two prominent statistical issues identified in the literature call the utility of this measure into question: (1) it is not a proper scoring function and (2) it has a high false positive rate when testing whether new factors contribute to the risk model. For binary response regression models, these subjects are interrogated and a modification of the continuous NRI, guided by the likelihood-based score residual, is proposed to address these issues. Within a nested model framework, the modified NRI may be viewed as a distance measure between two risk models. An application of the modified NRI is illustrated using prostate cancer data.
