Constructing a T-Test for Value Function Comparison of Individualized Treatment Regimes in the Presence of Multiple Imputation for Missing Data.
Article in Statistics in medicine, 2025. 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
Optimal individualized treatment decision-making has improved health outcomes in recent years. The value function is commonly used to evaluate the goodness of an individualized treatment decision rule. Despite recent advances, comparing value functions between different treatment decision rules or constructing confidence intervals around value functions remains difficult. We propose a t-test based method applied to a test set that generates valid p-values to compare value functions between a given pair of treatment decision rules when some of the data are missing. We demonstrate the ease in use of this method and evaluate its performance via simulation studies and apply it to the China Health and Nutrition Survey data.
