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

Introduction: We present a theoretical foundation based on the spontaneous self-organized temporal criticality (SOTC) and multifractal dimensionality Methods: We apply modified diffusion entropy analysis (MDEA) to assess multifractal dimensions of ON time series (ONTS), and complexity synchronization (CS) analysis to infer information transfer among ONs that are part of a network-of-organ-networks (NoONs). An automated parameter selection process is proposed that relies on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic to properly choose stripe sizes which are crucial in the MDEA analysis using synthetic duration times derived from the Mittag-Leffler map, shows the strength of KS-based stripe size selection to track changes in the IPL parameter Results: Results from processing these datasets show that the complexity of brain, heart, and lung ONTS co-vary over time during cognitive task performance in 44% of subjects, while complexity of brain-heart interactions significantly co-vary in 85% of subjects. Discussion: We conclude that certain principles, guidelines, and strategies for the application of MDEA analysis need further consideration. We conclude with a summary of the MDEA's limitations and future research directions.
