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

Bayesian quantile regression typically uses the asymmetric Laplace distribution as working likelihood, not because it is a plausible data-generating distribution but because the corresponding maximum likelihood estimator is identical to the classical estimator by Koenker and Bassett. While point estimation is consistent, credible intervals tend to have poor frequentist coverage. We propose using infinitesimal jackknife (IJ) standard errors introduced by Giordano and Broderick, which do not require resampling and can be obtained from a single Markov chain Monte Carlo run. Simulations and applications to real data show that IJ standard errors have good frequentist properties for both independent and clustered data. We provide an R package, IJSE, that computes IJ standard errors after estimation of any model with the brms wrapper for Stan.
