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 concept of "Structural Diversity" of a network refers to the level of dissimilarity between the various agents acting in the system, and it is typically interpreted as the number of connected components in the network. This key property of networks has been studied in multiple settings, including diffusion of ideas in social networks and functional diversity of regions in brain networks. Here, we propose a new measure, "Structural Entropy", as a revised interpretation to "Structural Diversity". The proposed measure relies on the finer-grained network communities (in contrast to the network's connected components), and takes into consideration both the number of communities and their sizes, generating a single representative value. We then propose an approach for monitoring the structure of correlation-based networks over time, which relies on the newly suggested measure. Finally, we illustrate the usefulness of the new approach, by applying it to the particular case of emergent organization of financial markets. This provides us a way to explore their underlying structural changes, revealing a remarkably high linear correlation between the new measure and the volatility of the assets' prices over time.
