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

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely used to model the dynamic behavior of a complex system. Parameter estimation and variable selection for a "Big System" with linear ODEs are very challenging due to the need of nonlinear optimization in an ultra-high dimensional parameter space. In this article, we develop a parameter estimation and variable selection method based on the ideas of similarity transformation and separable least squares (SLS). Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed matrix-based SLS method could be used to estimate the coefficient matrix more accurately and perform variable selection for a linear ODE system with thousands of dimensions and millions of parameters much better than the direct least squares (LS) method and the vector-based two-stage method that are currently available. We applied this new method to two real data sets: a yeast cell cycle gene expression data set with 30 dimensions and 930 unknown parameters and the Standard & Poor 1500 index stock price data with 1250 dimensions and 1,563,750 unknown parameters, to illustrate the utility and numerical performance of the proposed parameter estimation and variable selection method for big systems in practice.
