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

Mathematical models of biological systems need to both reflect and manage the inherent complexities of biological phenomena. Through their versatility and ability to capture behavior at multiple scales, multi-scale models offer a valuable approach. Due to the typically nonlinear and stochastic nature of multi-scale models as well as unknown parameter values, various types of uncertainty are present; thus, effective assessment and quantification of such uncertainty through sensitivity analysis is important. In this review, we discuss global sensitivity analysis in the context of multi-scale and multi-compartment models and highlight its value in model development and analysis. We present an overview of sensitivity analysis methods, approaches for extending such methods to a multi-scale setting, and examples of how sensitivity analysis can inform model reduction. Through schematics and references to past work, we aim to emphasize the advantages and usefulness of such techniques.
