Complexity analyses of geomagnetic and solar activity indices time series.
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
The universal properties of the geomagnetic/solar indices critically describe their time series' dynamics. Here, we investigate the complexity behavior of the time series of the geomagnetic and solar activity indices Kp, DST, Ap, F10.7, [Formula: see text], AE, AL, AU, pc, and R. To do this, we apply multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), rescaled range (R/S) test, and visibility graph (VG) to the time series of indices recorded daily from January 1st, 1996 to January 1st, 2020. MSE analysis reveals that AE exhibits the lowest entropy (minimal complexity), followed by F10.7, [Formula: see text], and R. Ap shows intermediate complexity, while AL, Dst, AU, and pc maintain higher entropy values. The range of Hurst exponents between 0.5 and 1 extracted from DFA and R/S analyses confirms the long-term memory of geomagnetic indices. In contrast, solar activity indices exhibit Hurst exponents consistent with pink noise or non-stationarity. VG analysis identifies AU, Dst, pc, and Kp as possessing "small-world" characteristics-corroborating strong long-range correlations. Synthesized results indicate that the indices Kp, Dst, AL, AU, and pc exhibit stronger evidence of long-term correlated memory, while the solar indices, along with the geomagnetic index AE, are comparatively suitable for studying transient phenomena.
