Multidimensional Generalized Partial Preference Model for Forced-Choice Items.
Article in Psychometrika, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A ranking pattern approach is proposed to build item response theory (IRT) models for forced-choice (FC) items. This new approach is an addition to the two existing approaches, sequential selection and Thurstone's law of pairwise comparison. A new dominance IRT model, the multidimensional generalized partial preference model (MGPPM), is proposed for FC items with any number (greater than 1) of statements. The maximum marginal likelihood estimation using an expectation-maximization algorithm (MML-EM) and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation are developed. A simulation study is conducted to show satisfactory parameter recovery on triplet and tetrad data. The relationships between the newly proposed approach/model and the existing approaches/models are described, and the MGPPM, Thurstonian IRT (TIRT) model, and Triplet-2PLM are compared when applied to simulated and real triplet data. The new approach offers more flexible IRT modeling than the other two approaches under different assumptions, and the MGPPM is more statistically elegant than the TIRT and Triple-2PLM.
