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

Assembly of quantitative models of large complex networks brings about several challenges. One of them is the combinatorial complexity, where relatively few signalling molecules can combine to form thousands or millions of distinct chemical species. A receptor that has several separate phosphorylation sites can exist in hundreds of different states, many of which must be accounted for individually when simulating the time course of signalling. When assembly of protein complexes is being included, the number of distinct molecular species can easily increase by a few orders of magnitude. Validation, visualisation and understanding the network can become intractable. Another challenge appears when the modeller needs to recast or grow a model. Keeping track of changes and adding new elements present a significant difficulty. An approach to solve these challenges within the virtual cell (VCell) is described. Using (i) automatic extraction from pathway databases of model components (http://vcell.org/biopax) and (ii) rules of interactions that serve as reaction network generators (http://vcell.org/bionetgen), a way is provided for semi-automatic generation of quantitative mathematical models that also facilitates the reuse of model elements. In this approach, kinetic models of large, complex networks can be assembled from separately constructed modules, either directly or via rules. To implement this approach, the strength of several related technologies is combined: the BioPAX ontology, the BioNetGen rule-based description of molecular interactions and the VCell modelling and simulation framework.
