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

Time series generated by complex systems like financial markets and the earth's atmosphere often represent superstatistical random walks: on short time scales, the data follow a simple low-level model, but the model parameters are not constant and can fluctuate on longer time scales according to a high-level model. While the low-level model is often dictated by the type of the data, the high-level model, which describes how the parameters change, is unknown in most cases. Here we present a computationally efficient method to infer the time course of the parameter variations from time-series with short-range correlations. Importantly, this method evaluates the model evidence to objectively select between competing high-level models. We apply this method to detect anomalous price movements in financial markets, characterize cancer cell invasiveness, identify historical policies relevant for working safety in coal mines, and compare different climate change scenarios to forecast global warming.
