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

Metabolic network reconstructions are widely used in computational systems biology for in silico studies of cellular metabolism. A common approach to analyse these models are elementary flux modes (EFMs), which correspond to minimal functional units in the network. Already for medium-sized networks, it is often impossible to compute the set of all EFMs, due to their huge number. From a practical point of view, this might also not be necessary because a subset of EFMs may already be sufficient to answer relevant biological questions. In this article, we study MEMos or minimum sets of EFMs that can generate all possible steady-state behaviours of a metabolic network. The number of EFMs in a MEMo may be by several orders of magnitude smaller than the total number of EFMs. Using MEMos, we can compute generating sets of EFMs in metabolic networks where the whole set of EFMs is too large to be enumerated.
