Modelling and optimal control of immune response of renal transplant recipients.
Article in Journal of biological dynamics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 consider the increasingly important and highly complex immunological control problem: control of the dynamics of immunosuppression for organ transplant recipients. The goal in this problem is to maintain the delicate balance between over-suppression (where opportunistic latent viruses threaten the patient) and under-suppression (where rejection of the transplanted organ is probable). First, a mathematical model is formulated to describe the immune response to both viral infection and introduction of a donor kidney in a renal transplant recipient. Some numerical results are given to qualitatively validate and demonstrate that this initial model exhibits appropriate characteristics of primary infection and reactivation for immunosuppressed transplant recipients. In addition, we develop a computational framework for designing adaptive optimal treatment regimes with partial observations and low-frequency sampling, where the state estimates are obtained by solving a second deterministic optimal tracking problem. Numerical results are given to illustrate the feasibility of this method in obtaining optimal treatment regimes with a balance between under-suppression and over-suppression of the immune system.
