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

Sample size determination is an active area of research in statistics. Generally, Bayesian methods provide relatively smaller sample sizes than the classical techniques, particularly average length criterion is more conventional and gives relatively small sample sizes under the given constraints. The objective of this study is to utilize major Bayesian sample size determination techniques for the coefficient of variation of normal distribution and assess their performance by comparing the results with the freqentist approach. To this end, we noticed that the average coverage criterion is the one that provides relatively smaller sample sizes than the worst outcome criterion. By comparing with the existing frequentist studies, we show that a smaller sample size is required in Bayesian methods to achieve the same efficiency.
