Testing for group differences in multilevel vector autoregressive models.
Article in Behavior research methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Multilevel Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models have become a popular tool for analyzing time series data from multiple subjects. Many studies aim to investigate differences in multilevel VAR models between groups, such as patients and healthy controls. However, there is currently no easily applicable method to make inferences about such group differences. Here, we present two standard tests for making such inferences: a parametric test and a nonparametric permutation test. We explain the rationale for both tests, provide an implementation based on the popular R-package mlVAR, and evaluate their performance in recovering group differences in scenarios resembling empirical research using a simulation study. Finally, we provide a fully reproducible R-tutorial on testing for group differences in a dataset of emotion measures using the new R-package mnet.
