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 concept of Simplexity has emerged several times in many discourses within different scientific domains: it somehow refers to the intertwined nature of Simplicity and Complexity. To the eye of the scientist beholder, any of these contributions renders different facets. None of those is negligible nor seems to be superior. Starting from this consideration, this paper uses a recent Design Science Research based method to develop a conceptual artefact allowing the entire realm of Complexity Sciences to unravel the Complexity of Simplexity. By moving through an in-depth systematic literature review, this research mined the nuances of Simplexity's meaning from several different research domains throughout seventy years, and then distilled those nuances. The resulting conceptual artefacts are possibly useful any time there is the need for dealing with Complexity - from the design of cyber-socio-technical systems to the analysis of protein networks - paving the way for a shared language for Psychologists, Neuro-linguists, Designers, Resilience Engineers, Biologists, and other Complexity Scientists.
