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

For realistic models in molecular biology, you need to consider the noise in the cellular and intracellular environments. In this article, we present a novel approach for testing the validity of nonlinear models representing a biological system affected by noise. Our approach is based on results by Kushner and Øksendal and uses computational techniques that rely on efficient solvers. By providing analytically upper bounds for the exit probability of solution trajectories of a system from a particular set in the phase space, we can compare measurement data with this prediction and try to invalidate models with certain parameter values or noise properties. Thus, our approach complements the usual methods that are based on deterministic models. It is particularly useful in the field of reverse engineering in systems biology, when one seeks to determine model parameters and noise properties as we show in the Results section, where we applied the approach to examples of increasing complexity and to the Hog1 signalling pathway.
