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

To better respond to threats, decision-makers are increasingly interested in predictions they can understand and trust. Collaborative modeling can help increase the relevance, transparency, and robustness of predictions. This approach can be facilitated with hubs, or centralized data repositories to collect, analyze, and communicate model output. This paper introduces the hubverse, a suite of standards and software tools to streamline the creation and operation of collaborative modeling hubs. Hubverse file structure and model output standards enable the use of common tools to validate, aggregate, visualize, evaluate, and communicate model output. Currently, the hubverse is used by nearly two dozen collaborative and local modeling hubs around the globe to support infectious disease modeling efforts, including hubs hosted and/or used by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, Australia-Aotearoa Consortium for Epidemic Forecasting and Analytics, and California Department of Public Health.
