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

Lasso is a popular and efficient approach to simultaneous estimation and variable selection in high-dimensional regression models. In this paper, a robust fused LAD-lasso method for multiple outcomes is presented that addresses the challenges of non-normal outcome distributions and outlying observations. Measured covariate data from space or time, or spectral bands or genomic positions often have natural correlation structure arising from measuring distance between the covariates. The proposed multi-outcome approach includes handling of such covariate blocks by a group fusion penalty, which encourages similarity between neighboring regression coefficient vectors by penalizing their differences, for example, in sequential data situation. Properties of the proposed approach are illustrated by extensive simulations using BIC-type criteria for model selection. The method is also applied to a real-life skewed data on retirement behavior with longitudinal heteroscedastic explanatory variables.
