A Unified Approach for Outliers and Influential Data Detection - The Value of Information in Retrospect.
Article in Stat (International Statistical Institute), 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
Identifying influential and outlying data is important as it would guide the effective collection of future data and the proper use of existing information. We develop a unified approach for outlier detection and influence analysis. Our proposed method is grounded in the intuitive value of information concepts and has a distinct advantage in interpretability and flexibility when compared to existing methods: it decomposes the data influence into the leverage effect (expected to be influential) and the outlying effect (surprisingly more influential than being expected); and it applies to all decision problems such as estimation, prediction, and hypothesis testing. We study the theoretical properties of three value of information quantities, establish the relationship between the proposed measures and classic measures in the linear regression setting, and provide real data analysis examples of how to apply the new value of information approach in the cases of linear regression, generalized linear mixed model, and hypothesis testing.
