On efficiency of locally
Article in Journal of applied statistics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the classical theory of locally optimal designs, which is developed within the framework of the center+error model, the most efficient design is the one based on MGLE, the maximum Gaussian likelihood estimator. However, practical scenarios often lack of complete information as to the governing probability model for the response measure and deviate from Gaussianity and homoscedasticity assumptions, in which, MqLE, the maximum quasi-likelihood estimator, has been advocated in the literature. In this work, we examine the locally optimal design based on the novel oracle-SLSE, the second-order least-square estimator, in the case where the underlying probability model is incompletely specified. We find that in a general setting, our oracle SLSE-based optimal design, incorporating skewness and kurtosis information, outperforms those based on MqLE or MGLE. Our numerical experiment supports this, with locally D-optimal designs based on MqLE approaching the efficiency of oracle-SLSE designs in some cases. This research guides the choice of estimators in practical scenarios departing from ideal assumptions.
