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

The identification of non-parametric impulse response functions (IRFs) from noisy finite-length data records is analysed using the techniques of matrix perturbation theory. Based on these findings, a method for IRF estimation is developed that is more robust than existing techniques, particularly when the input is non-white. Furthermore, methods are developed for computing confidence bounds on the resulting IRF estimates. Monte Carlo simulations are used to assess the capabilities of this new method and to demonstrate its superiority over classical techniques. An application to the identification of dynamic ankle stiffness in humans is presented.
