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 power spectrum of brain activity is composed by peaks at characteristic frequencies superimposed to a background that decays as a power law of the frequency, [Formula: see text], with an exponent [Formula: see text] close to 1 (pink noise). This exponent is predicted to be connected with the exponent [Formula: see text] related to the scaling of the average size with the duration of avalanches of activity. "Mean field" models of neural dynamics predict exponents [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] equal or near 2 at criticality (brown noise), including the simple branching model and the fully-connected stochastic Wilson-Cowan model. We here show that a 2D version of the stochastic Wilson-Cowan model, where neuron connections decay exponentially with the distance, is characterized by exponents [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] markedly different from those of mean field, respectively around 1 and 1.3. The exponents [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of avalanche size and duration distributions, equal to 1.5 and 2 in mean field, decrease respectively to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. This seems to suggest the possibility of a different universality class for the model in finite dimension.
