Deux modèles de population dans un environnement périodique lent ou rapide.

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
Two problems in population dynamics are addressed in a slow or rapid periodic environment. We first obtain a Taylor expansion for the probability of non-extinction of a supercriticial linear birth-and-death process with periodic coefficients when the period is large or small. If the birth rate is lower than the mortality for part of the period and the period tends to infinity, then the probability of non-extinction tends to a discontinuous limit related to a "canard" in a slow-fast system. Secondly, a nonlinear S-I-R epidemic model is studied when the contact rate fluctuates rapidly. The final size of the epidemic is close to that obtained by replacing the contact rate with its average. An approximation of the correction can be calculated analytically when the basic reproduction number of the epidemic is close to 1. The correction term, which can be either positive or negative, is proportional to both the period of oscillations and the initial fraction of infected people.
