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

We present a revised mathematical model of the immune response to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment of bladder cancer, optimized according to biological and clinical data accumulated during the last decade. The improved model accounts for cytotoxic T lymphocyte differentiation as an integral element of the delayed immune response, as well as the logistic growth terms for cancer cell proliferation. Three equilibria are demonstrated for the proposed model, which is assumed to be influenced by white noise stochastic perturbations that are directly proportional to the system state deviation from an equilibrium. Stability conditions for all equilibria are analyzed using the Kolmanovskii-Shaikhet general method of Lyapunov functionals construction.
