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 uses a time-varying Granger causality test and time-varying parameter vector autoregression with stochastic volatility model to analyze the effects of infectious disease equity market volatility (ID-EMV), geopolitical risk (GPR), and speculation on commodity returns. The time-varying effects of ID-EMV, GPR, and speculation on commodity returns are investigated and compared in five epidemics during 1998-2021: Bird Flu in 1998, SARS in 2003, Swine Flu in 2009, MERS and Ebola in 2014, and COVID-19 in 2019. A further analysis is performed for five commodity subcategories of textiles, industry, metals, livestock, and food. Results show that time-varying effects are significant, and most responses to ID-EMV are positive, to GPR are changing from negative to positive, and to speculation are negative. Notably, ID-EMV in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the worst hit to commodity returns in more than two decades.
