A forecast for large-scale, predictive biology: Lessons from meteorology.
Review in Cell systems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Quantitative systems biology, in which predictive mathematical models are constructed to guide the design of experiments and predict experimental outcomes, is at an exciting transition point, where the foundational scientific principles are becoming established, but the impact is not yet global. The next steps necessary for mathematical modeling to transform biological research and applications, in the same way it has already transformed other fields, is not completely clear. The purpose of this perspective is to forecast possible answers to this question-what needs to happen next-by drawing on the experience gained in another field, specifically meteorology. We review here a number of lessons learned in weather prediction that are directly relevant to biological systems modeling, and that we believe can enable the same kinds of global impact in our field as atmospheric modeling makes today.
