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

With rapid advances in information technology, massive datasets are collected in all fields of science, such as biology, chemistry, and social science. Useful or meaningful information is extracted from these data often through statistical learning or model fitting. In massive datasets, both sample size and number of predictors can be large, in which case conventional methods face computational challenges. Recently, an innovative and effective sampling scheme based on leverage scores via singular value decompositions has been proposed to select rows of a design matrix as a surrogate of the full data in linear regression. Analogously, variable screening can be viewed as selecting rows of the design matrix. However, effective variable selection along this line of thinking remains elusive. In this article, we bridge this gap to propose a weighted leverage variable screening method by utilizing both the left and right singular vectors of the design matrix. We show theoretically and empirically that the predictors selected using our method can consistently include true predictors not only for linear models but also for complicated general index models. Extensive simulation studies show that the weighted leverage screening method is highly computationally efficient and effective. We also demonstrate its success in identifying carcinoma related genes using spatial transcriptome data.
