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

This paper investigates the usage of logic and logic programming in the design of smart contracts. Our starting point is the logic-based programming language for smart contracts used in a recently proposed framework of quantum-secured blockchain, called Logicontract (LC). We then extend the logic used in LC by answer set programming (ASP), a modern approach to declarative logic programming. Using ASP enables us to write various interesting smart contracts, such as conditional payment, commitment, multi-party lottery and legal service. A striking feature of our ASP implementation proposal is that it involves post-quantum cryptographic primitives, such as the lattice-based public key encryption and signature. The adoption of the post-quantum cryptographic signature overcomes a specific limitation of LC in which the unconditionally secure signature, despite its strength, offers limited protection for users of the same node.
