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

Randomization is an essential component of a successful controlled clinical trial. Many randomization methods have been developed to balance the distributions of covariates across treatment arms to remove potential confounding effects. While the restricted randomization methods would not work well if the number of covariates is large, the theoretical base of the minimization methods needs more justifications. We propose a Bayesian covariate-adaptive randomization method that not only has meaningful interpretations on its adaptive randomization probability, but also achieves desirable marginal and overall balances for both categorical and continuous covariates, particularly when balancing a large number of covariates is necessary.
