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

We develop a geometric approach to financial risk based on Crofton's idea and the tools of the Radon transform. The trajectory of a financial instrument is defined with respect to a frame of reference (money, benchmark). A central role is played by simple instruments, inspired by the annual percentage rate (APR) concept, whose graphs in a fixed reference frame are line segments. Risk is interpreted transactionally as the density of exchange dilemmas that arise when the instrument's trajectory intersects the trajectories of simple instruments. This perspective leads to a risk measure given by the trajectory length in the Crofton-Steinhaus sense. We also introduce new notions, such as geometric volatility, transactional entropy, and trajectory temperature, associated with the distribution of the number of intersections, enabling thermodynamic analogies to be incorporated into the description of risk and market complexity.
