Theme Subgroup Reading (Topic-Model Bridge)

When to use it

Use it after a base run, to read one body of evidence through a second lens.

Cross-head readings of the SAME frame: each bridge re-reads the attached effects table through another family's run — time, theme, dependency or citation.

Limitations and scope

• Results are conditional on the studies, corpus and parameters you supply, and on the chosen model. The analysis summarises the evidence as reported; it does not establish causation.
• Every figure carries its source, and every run is reproducible bit-for-bit from the same inputs, parameters and engine version.

In this family

• Cumulative Reading (Time Bridge)Re-estimate the pooled effect after each study in year order — when the evidence first became conclusive.
• Dependency Reading (Author-Network Bridge)Re-pool with cluster-robust variance for studies produced by the same research team, from an author-network run.
• Evidence-Base Diagnosis (Citation Bridge)Read the body of evidence behind a meta-analysis descriptively, matched to the project's bibliographic records.
