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

Atomic clock frequency jumps directly influence the accuracy and reliability of timekeeping systems. The necessary corrections are typically implemented by postprocessing mutual comparison data between multiple atomic clocks based on the overly strict assumption that these atomic clocks are independent of each other. This paper describes the concept of a mirror clock, which enables atomic clock frequency jumps to be identified in real time without any assumptions. By comparing whether the real measured data and a corresponding mirror clock prediction fall within a confidence interval determined by the uncertainty of past physical clock data, atomic clock frequency jumps can be effectively identified and corrected. The results of several experiments using three hydrogen masers verify that the precision and recall of simultaneous jump identification reach 96.41% and 73.49%, respectively.
