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

Penalized regression methods that shrink model coefficients are popular approaches to improve prediction and for variable selection in high-dimensional settings. We present a penalized (or regularized) regression approach for multinomial logistic models for categorical outcomes with a novel adaptive L1-type penalty term, that incorporates weights based on intra- and inter-outcome category distances of each predictor. A predictor that has large between- and small within-outcome category distances is penalized less and has a higher likelihood to be selected for the final model. We propose and study three measures for weight calculation: an analysis of variance (ANOVA)-based measure and two indices used in clustering approaches. Our novel approach, that we term the Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00180-025-01635-0.
