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

In this work, we investigate the parameter estimation problem based on the three-parameter Weibull models, for which non-finite estimates may be obtained for the log-likelihood function in some regions of the parametric space. Based on an information criterion with penalization of the modified log-likelihood function, we propose a new class of estimators for this distribution model. In addition to providing finite estimates for the model parameters, this procedure reduces the bias of the modified estimator. The performance of the new estimator is evaluated through simulations and real-life data set modeling. An economic application on a real data set is discussed, as well as an engineering one.
