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

Non-extensive statistical mechanics (NESM), introduced by Tsallis based on the principle of non-additive entropy, is a generalisation of the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. NESM has been shown to provide the necessary theoretical and analytical implementation for studying complex systems such as the fracture mechanisms and crack evolution processes that occur in mechanically loaded specimens of brittle materials. In the current work, acoustic emission (AE) data recorded when marble and cement mortar specimens were subjected to three distinct loading protocols until fracture, are discussed in the context of NESM. The NESM analysis showed that the cumulative distribution functions of the AE interevent times (i.e., the time interval between successive AE hits) follow a q-exponential function. For each examined specimen, the corresponding Tsallis entropic q-indices and the parameters
