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

motivationComputational modeling is widely used for deepening the understanding of biological processes. Parameterizing models to experimental data needs computationally efficient techniques for parameter estimation. Challenges for parameter estimation include in general the high dimensionality of the parameter space with local minima and in specific for stochastic modeling the intrinsic stochasticity.

resultsWe implemented the recently suggested multiple shooting for stochastic systems (MSS) objective function for parameter estimation in stochastic models into COPASI. This MSS objective function can be used for parameter estimation in stochastic models but also shows beneficial properties when used for ordinary differential equation models. The method can be applied with all of COPASI's optimization algorithms, and can be used for SBML models as well. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The methodology is available in COPASI as of version 4.15.95 and can be downloaded from http://www.copasi.org CONTACT: frank.bergmann@bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de or fbergman@caltech.edu SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
