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 synchronization of two groups of electrochemical oscillators is investigated during the electrodissolution of nickel in sulfuric acid. The oscillations are coupled through combined capacitance and resistance, so that in a single pair of oscillators (nearly) in-phase synchronization is obtained. The internal coupling within each group is relatively strong, but there is a phase difference between the fast and slow oscillators. The external coupling between the two groups is weak. The experiments show that the two groups can exhibit (nearly) anti-phase collective synchronization. Such synchronization occurs only when the external coupling is weak, and the interactions are delayed by the capacitance. When the external coupling is restricted to those between the fast and the slow elements, the anti-phase synchronization is more prominent. The results are interpreted with phase models. The theory predicts that, for anti-phase collective synchronization, there must be a minimum internal phase difference for a given shift in the phase coupling function. This condition is less stringent with external fast-to-slow coupling. The results provide a framework for applications of collective phase synchronization in modular networks where weak coupling between the groups can induce synchronization without rearrangements of the phase dynamics within the groups. This article is part of the theme issue 'Coupling functions: dynamical interaction mechanisms in the physical, biological and social sciences'.
