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 identification of important nodes is a hot topic in complex networks. Many methods have been proposed in different fields for solving this problem. Most previous work emphasized the role of a single feature and, as a result, rarely made full use of multiple items. This paper proposes a new method that utilizes multiple characteristics of nodes for the evaluation of their importance. First, an extended degree is defined to improve the classical degree. And E-shell hierarchy decomposition is put forward for determining nodes' position through the network's hierarchical structure. Then, based on the combination of these two components, a hybrid characteristic centrality and its extended version are proposed for evaluating the importance of nodes. Extensive experiments are conducted in six real networks, and the susceptible-infected-recovered model and monotonicity criterion are introduced to test the performance of the new approach. The comparison results demonstrate that the proposed new approach exposes more competitive advantages in both accuracy and resolution compared to the other five approaches.
