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 this article, we present a multispecies reaction-advection-diffusion partial differential equation coupled with linear elasticity for modeling tumor growth. The model aims to capture the phenomenological features of glioblastoma multiforme observed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These include enhancing and necrotic tumor structures, brain edema and the so-called "mass effect", a term-of-art that refers to the deformation of brain tissue due to the presence of the tumor. The multispecies model accounts for proliferating, invasive and necrotic tumor cells as well as a simple model for nutrition consumption and tumor-induced brain edema. The coupling of the model with linear elasticity equations with variable coefficients allows us to capture the mechanical deformations due to the tumor growth on surrounding tissues. We present the overall formulation along with a novel operator-splitting scheme with components that include linearly-implicit preconditioned elliptic solvers, and a semi-Lagrangian method for advection. We also present results showing simulated MRI images which highlight the capability of our method to capture the overall structure of glioblastomas in MRIs.
