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

This paper analyzes financial market interdependence from a statistical-physics perspective by comparing Ising and spin glass representations of asset interactions. Financial markets are modeled as complex systems in which collective behavior emerges from time-varying interaction structures. Using daily data for a diversified 15-asset commodity system, including precious metals, energy commodities, industrial metals and soft commodities, over the period 2020-2024, we construct rolling coupling matrices based on both linear correlations and nonlinear mutual information and embed them into Ising and Sherrington-Kirkpatrick-type interaction frameworks. While aggregate synchronization indicators-such as average coupling strength and the largest eigenvalue-exhibit similar dynamics across the two representations, the spin glass framework reveals substantially richer structural heterogeneity. Preserving the sign structure of the interactions leads to wider dispersion, higher variability and nontrivial network configurations that are suppressed in the Ising representation. The results identify the Ising model as a benchmark for market coherence. The spin glass model is essential for capturing heterogeneous interactions and nonlinear dependence in financial markets.
