Calibration Transfer Based on Nonparametric Varying Coefficient Regression.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. 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
Differences between near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy instruments make it difficult to apply calibration models universally across multiple instruments; hence, calibration transfer (CT) is crucial. To ensure that a model developed on one instrument is also applicable to a new instrument, this study establishes a CT method based on nonparametric techniques, referred to as nonparametric varying-coefficient regression calibration transfer (NVT). This method uses a varying-coefficient model (VCM) to build a functional relationship between the master and slave spectra using a set of standard sample spectra and employs B-splines as basis functions for function fitting. This functional relationship helps transfer the slave spectra of other samples into the master spectra, reducing the spectral differences caused by instrument variations. The performance of NVT was tested on the determination of moisture, oil, protein, and starch in corn, and the content of total plant alkaloids, reducing sugars, total sugars, and total nitrogen in tobacco using NIR spectroscopy. NVT was compared with two common CT methods: spectral space transformation (SST) and piecewise direct standardization (PDS). The results show that NVT can effectively eliminate some spectral differences caused by different instruments and significantly improve analytical accuracy. Compared with that of PDS, the CT effect of NVT is significantly improved, whereas compared with that of SST, it is slightly improved. This method is insensitive to parameters, making it easy to select parameters and providing a new idea for CT method design.
