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

Evidence-based decision making often relies on meta-analyzing multiple studies, which enables more precise estimation and investigation of generalizability. Integrative analysis of multiple heterogeneous studies is, however, highly challenging in the ultra high-dimensional setting. The challenge is even more pronounced when the individual-level data cannot be shared across studies, known as DataSHIELD contraint. Under sparse regression models that are assumed to be similar yet not identical across studies, we propose in this paper a novel integrative estimation procedure for data-Shielding High-dimensional Integrative Regression (SHIR). SHIR protects individual data through summary-statistics-based integrating procedure, accommodates between-study heterogeneity in both the covariate distribution and model parameters, and attains consistent variable selection. Theoretically, SHIR is statistically more efficient than the existing distributed approaches that integrate debiased LASSO estimators from the local sites. Furthermore, the estimation error incurred by aggregating derived data is negligible compared to the statistical minimax rate and SHIR is shown to be asymptotically equivalent in estimation to the ideal estimator obtained by sharing all data. The finite-sample performance of our method is studied and compared with existing approaches via extensive simulation settings. We further illustrate the utility of SHIR to derive phenotyping algorithms for coronary artery disease using electronic health records data from multiple chronic disease cohorts.
