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

Animal groups come in diverse forms-from fish schools swimming in unison to crickets chirping in synchrony. Although these behaviors may seem considerably different to one another, they share a common mathematical core, and can therefore be considered in a unified manner. We discuss the commonalities and differences by synthesizing existing literature from both fields, encompassing both theoretical and empirical advances. We emphasize the crucial role of mixing, induced by individual movements, as a main differentiating factor. Along the way, we propose promising future directions for achieving a more comprehensive understanding of self-organized collective behavior.
