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

Recent investigations of turbulent circulation fluctuations have uncovered substantial insights into the statistical organization of flow structures and revealed unexpected geometric features of turbulent intermittency. Of particular interest here is the observation that circulation probability distribution functions admit a superstatistical representation, namely a description based on "ensembles of Boltzmann"Gibbs ensembles." A fundamental phenomenological ingredient of this approach, which serves as a natural starting point for modeling, relies on the strong correlation between the dissipation field and the spatial distribution of elementary circulation-carrying structures, i.e., small-scale vortices. Within the language of superstatistics, this corresponds to characterizing circulation statistics through an appropriate choice of conditioned (Boltzmann-like) distributions and mixing distributions. We show that the superstatistical class of [Formula: see text]-exponentials, known to have broad applicability in a wide range of multiscale and nonequilibrium systems, provides an accurate description of the observed circulation statistics in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. This finding opens avenues for exploring the statistical structure of the turbulent cascade in the context of nonextensive statistical mechanics, rooted in the concept of nonadditive entropies.
