In the past, Gay has been a master at treading the ground between the particular and the abstract, finding new particulars and revising prized abstractions.
KAH acquired articles for review, abstracted findings to tables, contributed to analysis and interpretation, provided reference management, and drafted sections of the manuscript.
We abstracted findings related to one of three themes: 1) Characteristics of decisions being supported – general features of the decisions that the systems in question were designed to support, with a focus on areas of similarity between healthcare and non-healthcare settings.
The most frequently found abstracted finding was methods associated with successful recruitment to RCTs, with four subthemes with a frequency effect >20%.
In this analysis, we simulated the SAVOR-TIMI 53 study, prospectively, and first reported our results at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research Annual European Congress (abstract with findings submitted on June 25 , 2013.
Therefore we might have missed studies that included an expectation measure in their multivariable models but did not report it in their abstract because findings were non-significant.
On the other hand we strived to abstract our findings by putting the identified key factors influencing the pathway implementation into a multi-dimensional model.
Quite the contrary, we emphasize in the Abstract: "These findings imply that, rather than representing ancestral characters, the extremely compact genomes and multiple split genes of Nanoarchaeota are derived characters associated with their symbiotic or parasitic lifestyle".
Additional reasons for exclusion included: duplication of data presented in another paper included in the review (n = 2); abstract reported findings that were not included in the paper (n = 5); poor or incomplete descriptions of the methodology (n = 2); and, reported abuse of patients which did not involve hostile behaviour between clinicians (n = 1).
In an abstract fashion, finding peaks in our length profiles is equivalent to finding the sparsest solution to an underdetermined system of equations: min ||x||0 subject to y = Ax, where y is an observed measurement, x is the underlying signal, A is the convolution operator, and ||x||0 represents the number of non-zeros in the signal.
Minor comments: Reviewer #1: There are a couple of points, which I still recommend to reconsider: a) In the Abstract, the finding of the xylosyl-xylitol intermediates in other organisms should be mentioned, underlining the broader finding of the manuscript.
