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

In pharmacology and systems biology, it is a fundamental problem to determine how biological systems change their dose-response behavior upon perturbations. In particular, it is unclear how topologies, reactions, and parameters (differentially) affect the dose response. Because parameters are often unknown, systematic approaches should directly relate network structure and function. Here, we outline a procedure to compare general non-monotone dose-response curves and subsequently develop a comprehensive theory for differential dose responses of biochemical networks captured by non-equilibrium steady-state linear framework models. Although these models are amenable to analytical derivations of non-equilibrium steady states in principle, their size frequently increases (super) exponentially with model size. We extract general principles of differential responses based on a model's graph structure and thereby alleviate the combinatorial explosion. This allows us, for example, to determine reactions that affect differential responses, to identify classes of networks with equivalent differential, and to reject hypothetical models reliably without needing to know parameter values. We exemplify such applications for models of insulin signaling.
