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

The sufficient cause model is extended from binary to categorical and ordinal outcomes to formalize the concept of sufficient cause interaction and synergism in this setting. This extension allows us to derive counterfactual and empirical conditions for detecting the presence of sufficient cause interactions for ordinal and categorical outcomes. Some of these conditions are entirely novel in that they cannot be derived from the sufficient cause model for binary outcomes. These empirical conditions enable researchers to determine whether two exposures display synergism for an ordinal or a categorical outcome. Likelihood ratio tests that use these derived empirical conditions are developed to infer sufficient cause interaction for ordinal and categorical outcomes. Lastly, we apply these likelihood ratio tests to detect sufficient cause interaction between two major resistance mutations in the development of HIV drug resistance to Etravirine.
