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 analysis of independence between statistical randomness tests has had great attention in the literature recently. Dependency detection between statistical randomness tests allows one to discriminate statistical randomness tests that measure similar characteristics, and thus minimize the amount of statistical randomness tests that need to be used. In this work, a method for detecting statistical dependency by using mutual information is proposed. The main advantage of using mutual information is its ability to detect nonlinear correlations, which cannot be detected by the linear correlation coefficient used in previous work. This method analyzes the correlation between the battery tests of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, used as a standard in the evaluation of randomness. The results of the experiments show the existence of statistical dependencies between the tests that have not been previously detected.
