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

We propose a highly versatile computational framework for the simulation of cellular blood flow focusing on extreme performance without compromising accuracy or complexity. The tool couples the lattice Boltzmann solver Palabos for the simulation of blood plasma, a novel finite-element method (FEM) solver for the resolution of deformable blood cells, and an immersed boundary method for the coupling of the two phases. The design of the tool supports hybrid CPU-GPU executions (fluid, fluid-solid interaction on CPUs, deformable bodies on GPUs), and is non-intrusive, as each of the three components can be replaced in a modular way. The FEM-based kernel for solid dynamics outperforms other FEM solvers and its performance is comparable to state-of-the-art mass-spring systems. We perform an exhaustive performance analysis on Piz Daint at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre and provide case studies focused on platelet transport, implicitly validating the accuracy of our tool. The tests show that this versatile framework combines unprecedented accuracy with massive performance, rendering it suitable for upcoming exascale architectures.
