CRA toolbox: software package for conditional robustness analysis of cancer systems biology models in MATLAB.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundIn cancer research, robustness of a complex biochemical network is one of the most relevant properties to investigate for the development of novel targeted therapies. In cancer systems biology, biological networks are typically modeled through Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) models. Hence, robustness analysis consists in quantifying how much the temporal behavior of a specific node is influenced by the perturbation of model parameters. The Conditional Robustness Algorithm (CRA) is a valuable methodology to perform robustness analysis on a selected output variable, representative of the proliferation activity of cancer disease.
resultsHere we introduce our new freely downloadable software, the CRA Toolbox. The CRA Toolbox is an Object-Oriented MATLAB package which implements the features of CRA for ODE models. It offers the users the ability to import a mathematical model in Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML), to perturb the model parameter space and to choose the reference node for the robustness analysis. The CRA Toolbox allows the users to visualize and save all the generated results through a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). The CRA Toolbox has a modular and flexible architecture since it is designed according to some engineering design patterns. This tool has been successfully applied in three nonlinear ODE models: the Prostate-specific Pten
conclusionsThe CRA Toolbox for MATLAB is an open-source tool implementing the CRA to perform conditional robustness analysis. With its unique set of functions, the CRA Toolbox is a remarkable software for the topological study of biological networks.
