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

Module or community structures widely exist in complex networks, and optimizing statistical measures is one of the most popular approaches for revealing and identifying such structures in real-world applications. In this paper, we focus on critical behaviors of (Quasi-)Surprise, a type of statistical measure of interest for community structure, accompanied by a series of comparisons with other measures. Specially, the effect of various network parameters on the measures is thoroughly investigated. The critical number of dense subgraphs in partition transition is derived, and a kind of phase diagrams is provided to display and compare the phase transitions of the measures. The effect of "potential well" for (Quasi-)Surprise is revealed, which may be difficult to get across by general greedy (agglomerative or divisive) algorithms. Finally, an extension of Quasi-Surprise is introduced for the study of multi-scale structures. Experimental results are of help for understanding the critical behaviors of (Quasi-)Surprise, and may provide useful insight for the design of effective tools for community detection.
