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

The widely used Maximum Matching (MM) method identifies the minimum driver nodes set to control biological and technological systems. Nevertheless, it is assumed in the MM approach that one driver node can send control signal to multiple target nodes, which might not be appropriate in certain complex networks. A recent work introduced a constraint that one driver node can control one target node, and proposed a method to identify the minimum target nodes set under such a constraint. We refer such target nodes to driven nodes. However, the driven nodes may not be uniquely determined. Here, we develop a novel algorithm to classify driven nodes in control categories. Our computational analysis on a large number of biological networks indicates that the number of driven nodes is considerably larger than the number of driver nodes, not only in all examined complete plant metabolic networks but also in several key human pathways, which firstly demonstrate the importance of use of driven nodes in analysis of real-world networks.
