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

Information transfer that characterizes the information feature variation can have a crucial impact on big data analytics and processing. Actually, the measure for information transfer can reflect the system change from the statistics by using the variable distributions, similar to Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and Renyi divergence. Furthermore, to some degree, small probability events may carry the most important part of the total message in an information transfer of big data. Therefore, it is significant to propose an information transfer measure with respect to the message importance from the viewpoint of small probability events. In this paper, we present the message importance transfer measure (MITM) and analyze its performance and applications in three aspects. First, we discuss the robustness of MITM by using it to measuring information distance. Then, we present a message importance transfer capacity by resorting to the MITM and give an upper bound for the information transfer process with disturbance. Finally, we apply the MITM to discuss the queue length selection, which is the fundamental problem of caching operation on mobile edge computing.
