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

One of the ultimate goals in systems biology is to develop control strategies to find efficient medical treatments. One step towards this goal is to develop methods for changing the state of a cell into a desirable state. We propose an efficient method that determines combinations of network perturbations to direct the system towards a predefined state. The method requires a set of control actions such as the silencing of a gene or the disruption of the interaction between two genes. An optimal control policy defined as the best intervention at each state of the system can be obtained using existing methods. However, these algorithms are computationally prohibitive for models with tens of nodes. Our method generates control actions that approximates the optimal control policy with high probability with a computational efficiency that does not depend on the size of the state space. Our C++ code is available at https://github.com/boaguilar/SDDScontrol.
