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

Many information-theoretic quantities have corresponding representations in terms of sets. Many of these information quantities do not have a fixed sign-for example, the co-information can be both positive and negative. In previous work, we presented a signed measure space for entropy where the smallest sets (called atoms) all have fixed signs. In the present work, we demonstrate that these atoms have natural algebraic behaviour which can be expressed in terms of ideals (characterised here as upper sets), and we show that this behaviour allows us to make bounding arguments and describe many fixed-sign information quantity expressions. As an application, we give an algebraic proof that the only completely synergistic system of three finite variables
