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 COVID-19 pandemic shows significant impacts on credit risk, which is the key concern of corporate bond holders such as insurance companies. Credit risk, quantified by agency credit ratings and credit default swaps (CDS), usually exhibits long-range dependence (LRD) due to potential credit rating persistence. With rescaled range analysis and a novel affine forward intensity model embracing a flexible range of Hurst parameters, our studies on Moody's rating data and CDS prices reveal that default intensities have shifted from the long-range to the short-range dependence regime during the COVID-19 period, implying that the historical credit performance becomes much less relevant for credit prediction during the pandemic. This phenomenon contrasts sharply with previous financial-related crises. Specifically, both the 2008 subprime mortgage and the Eurozone crises did not experience such a great decline in the level of LRD in sovereign CDS. Our work also sheds light on the use of historical series in credit risk prediction for insurers' investment.
