Multifractal analysis and support vector machine for the classification of coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This study presents a novel approach for the classification of coronavirus species and variants of SARS-CoV-2 using Chaos Game Representation (CGR) and 2D Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (2D MF-DFA). By extracting fractal parameters from CGR images, we constructed a state space that effectively distinguishes different species and variants. Our method achieved [Formula: see text] accuracy in species classification, with a notable [Formula: see text] accuracy for SARS-CoV-2 variants despite their genetic similarities. Using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier further enhanced the performance. This approach, which requires fewer steps than most existing methods, offers an efficient and effective tool for viral classification, with implications for bioinformatics, public health, and vaccine development.
