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

Longitudinal models typically represent change as a function of a single time metric. However, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted researchers to consider whether changes are a function of phases of the pandemic while simultaneously accommodating age. This paper proposes an extension of the discrete-time latent change score modeling framework to model wave-to-wave changes while accounting for time more precisely by including continuous time metrics via regressing out initial age and using definition variables instead of bins. The approach is motivated by and applied to data involving adolescent sibling influence in expectations about marijuana. A simulation study shows how our approach compares to models that use wave without regressing out initial age or using definition variables.
