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

Restricted latent class models (RLCMs) provide an important framework for diagnosing and classifying respondents on a collection of multivariate binary responses. Recent research made significant advances in theory for establishing identifiability conditions for RLCMs with binary and polytomous response data. Multiclass data, which are unordered nominal response data, are also widely collected in the social sciences and psychometrics via forced-choice inventories and multiple choice tests. We establish new identifiability conditions for parameters of RLCMs for multiclass data and discuss the implications for substantive applications. The new identifiability conditions are applicable to a wealth of RLCMs for polytomous and nominal response data. We propose a Bayesian framework for inferring model parameters, assess parameter recovery in a Monte Carlo simulation study, and present an application of the model to a real dataset.
