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

For three-level regular designs, the confounding from the perspectives of both factor and component effects leads to different results. The aliasing properties of factor effects are more significant than the latter in the experimental model. In this paper, a new three-level aliasing pattern is proposed to evaluate the degree of aliasing among different factors. Based on the classification pattern, a new criterion is introduced for choosing optimal three-level regular designs. Then, we analyze the relationship between the criterion and the existing criteria, including general minimum lower-order confounding, entropy, minimum aberration, and clear effects. The results show that the classification patterns of other criteria can be expressed as functions of our proposed pattern. Further, an aliasing algorithm is provided, and all 27-run, some of the 81-run, and 243-run three-level designs are listed in tables and compared with the rankings under other criteria. A real example is provided to illustrate the proposed methods.
