Perfect Sampling of the Posterior in the Hierarchical Pitman-Yor Process.
Article in Bayesian analysis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The predictive probabilities of the hierarchical Pitman-Yor process are approximated through Monte Carlo algorithms that exploits the Chinese Restaurant Franchise (CRF) representation. However, in order to simulate the posterior distribution of the hierarchical Pitman-Yor process, a set of auxiliary variables representing the arrangement of customers in tables of the CRF must be sampled through Markov chain Monte Carlo. This paper develops a perfect sampler for these latent variables employing ideas from the Propp-Wilson algorithm and evaluates its average running time by extensive simulations. The simulations reveal a significant dependence of running time on the parameters of the model, which exhibits sharp transitions. The algorithm is compared to simpler Gibbs sampling procedures, as well as a procedure for unbiased Monte Carlo estimation proposed by Glynn and Rhee. We illustrate its use with an example in microbial genomics studies.
