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

A nonvibrating magnetic granular system is studied by using a time series approach. The system consists of steel balls confined inside a circular wall that surrounds a glass plate. Kinetic energy is provided to the particles by the application of an external vertical time-dependent magnetic field of different amplitudes. We carried out a characterization of the system dynamics through the measurement of the correlations present in the time series of positions, in the x-direction, of each particle. In particular, by performing Fourier spectral analysis, we find that the time series are fractal and scale invariant, in such a way that the corresponding Fourier power spectra follow a power law [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text]. More specifically, we find that the values of [Formula: see text], and therefore the strength of the correlations, increase as the magnetic field also increases. In this way, the present system constitutes an experimental model to generate correlated random walks. Additionally, we show how the introduction of a constant magnetic field breaks down this scale invariance property in the positions of each particle. Finally, we confirm the above results by applying detrended fluctuation analysis.
