Bayesian Clustering Factor Models.
Article in Statistics in medicine, 2026. 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
We present a novel framework for concomitant dimension reduction and clustering. This framework is based on a novel class of Bayesian clustering factor models. These models assume a factor model structure where the vectors of common factors follow a mixture of Gaussian distributions. We develop a Gibbs sampler to explore the posterior distribution and propose an information criterion to select the number of clusters and the number of factors. Simulation studies show that our inferential approach appropriately quantifies uncertainty. In addition, when compared to two previously published competitor methods, our information criterion has favorable performance in terms of correct selection of number of clusters and number of factors. Finally, we illustrate the capabilities of our framework with an application to data on recovery from opioid use disorder where clustering of individuals may facilitate personalized health care.
