A Maximum Entropy Method for the Prediction of Size Distributions.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
We propose a method to derive the stationary size distributions of a system, and the degree distributions of networks, using maximisation of the Gibbs-Shannon entropy. We apply this to a preferential attachment-type algorithm for systems of constant size, which contains exit of balls and urns (or nodes and edges for the network case). Knowing mean size (degree) and turnover rate, the power law exponent and exponential cutoff can be derived. Our results are confirmed by simulations and by computation of exact probabilities. We also apply this entropy method to reproduce existing results like the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for the velocity of gas particles, the Barabasi-Albert model and multiplicative noise systems.
