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

The fourth-order time-invariant spectrum, or trispectrum, has a simple derivation as the cross-spectrum among frequency bands in the Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD). Viewed this way, the trispectrum gains intuitive meaning as a measure of the linear dependence of power across frequencies, which yields some insight into its structure and interpretation. We highlight, in particular, a two-dimensional subdomain as useful for identifying modulated oscillations when the modulating envelope is non-negative or lowpass. Spectral characteristics of the carrier and modulating signals are revealed along separate axes of a two-dimensional representation of this domain. The application of this framework, combined with a previously described additive decomposition technique for higher-order spectra, is demonstrated by the blind identification and separation of sleep spindles and beta bursts in EEG.
