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 article assesses the asymmetric multifractality of the energy prices in the different periods during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) through asymmetric multifractality detrended fluctuation analysis. The higher (lower) multifractality shows a rapid rise (fall), which has different consequences for the energy prices. The findings explore strong multifractality in the downward movements for crude oil, heating oil, diesel, gasoline, propane and kerosene oil returns. The upside multifractality for coal and natural gas returns are bigger than the downside in both periods. Furthermore, the access asymmetry is more pronounced during the COVID-19, implying increased market inefficiency. The outcomes explore if energy prices are inefficient during the pandemic. A special attention is required in order to observe such unexpected fluctuations in the price dynamic and guidelines are vital. The level of efficiency can be improved by a greater transference in information while the government must play its role in regulations. Such aspects can increase stability and decrease the expected risks and price movements.
