Bag of DAGs: Inferring Directional Dependence in Spatiotemporal Processes.
Article in Bayesian analysis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We propose a class of nonstationary processes to characterize space- and time-varying directional associations in point-referenced data. We are motivated by spatiotemporal modeling of air pollutants in which local wind patterns are key determinants of the pollutant spread, but information regarding prevailing wind directions may be missing or unreliable. We propose to map a discrete set of wind directions to edges in a sparse directed acyclic graph (DAG), accounting for uncertainty in directional correlation patterns across a domain. The resulting Bag of DAGs processes (BAGs) lead to interpretable nonstationarity and scalability for large data due to sparsity of DAGs in the bag. We outline Bayesian hierarchical models using BAGs and illustrate inferential and performance gains of our methods compared to other state-of-the-art alternatives. We analyze fine particulate matter using high-resolution data from low-cost air quality sensors in California during the 2020 wildfire season. An R package is available on GitHub.
