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

Fractal dimension unlike topological dimension is (usually) a non-integer number which measures complexity, roughness, or irregularity of an object with respect to the space in which the set lies. It is used to characterize highly irregular objects in nature containing statistical self-similarity such as mountains, snowflakes, clouds, coastlines, borders etc. In this article, box dimension (a version of fractal dimension) of the border of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is computed using a multicore parallel processing algorithm based on the classical box-counting method. A power law relation is obtained from numerical simulations which relates the length of the border with the scale size and provides a very close estimate of the actual length of the KSA border within the scaling regions and scaling effects on the length of KSA border are considered. The algorithm presented in the article is shown to be highly scalable and efficient and the speedup of the algorithm is computed using Amdahl's and Gustafson's laws. For simulations, a high performance parallel computer is employed using Python codes and QGIS software.
