Multiscale study of memory type simple ratio estimators in two stage sampling under exponentially weighted moving averages.
Article in PloS one, 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
Two-stage cluster sampling is often employed in survey sampling when complete population information is not available. In this setting, the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) statistic offers an efficient way to estimate the population mean by incorporating both past and current data. Motivated by this, we propose a class of memory-type ratio and exponential estimators for estimating the population mean under a two-stage cluster sampling framework. Theoretical expressions for the biases and mean square errors (MSE) of the proposed estimators are derived. To evaluate their performance, a comprehensive simulation study was carried out, supplemented by an empirical application. Several special cases of the proposed estimators were also considered and compared with existing two-stage estimators. The analysis was performed under different values of the EWMA smoothing constant ([Formula: see text]). Both simulation and empirical results consistently show that the proposed memory-type two-stage ratio estimators outperform existing approaches, providing improved efficiency with minimum MSE.
