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 ubiquitous nature of thermal fluctuations poses a limitation on the identification of crystal structures. However, the trajectory of an atom carries a fingerprint of its surroundings. This rationalizes the search for a method that can determine the local atomic configuration via the analysis of the movement of an individual atom. Here, we report, while using molecular modeling, how a statistical analysis of a single-atom speed trajectory, represented by ordinal patterns, distinguishes between actual crystal structures. Using the Shannon entropy of ordinal patterns enabled discernment of the studied high-pressure silicon phases. Identification of the atoms occupying the 2(c) and 6(f) Wyckoff positions of the r8 crystal revealed an increase in the developed method's accuracy with trajectory length. The proposed concept of studying the structure of crystals offers new opportunities in solid-solid phase transformation studies.
