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

While swarming behavior is regarded as a critical phenomenon in phase transition and frequently shows the properties of a critical state such as Lévy walk, a general mechanism to explain the critical property in swarming behavior has not yet been found. Here, we address this problem with a simple swarm model, the Self-Propelled Particle (SPP) model, and propose a way to explain this critical behavior by introducing agents making decisions via the data-hypothesis interaction in Bayesian inference, namely, Bayesian and inverse Bayesian inference (BIB). We compare three SPP models, namely, the simple SPP, the SPP with Bayesian-only inference (BO) and the SPP with BIB models. We show that only the BIB model entails coexisting tornado, splash and translation behaviors, and the Lévy walk pattern.
