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

Introduction: Dengue and Malaria are the most important mosquito-borne viral diseases affecting humans. Fever is transmitted between human hosts by infected female aedes mosquitoes. The modeling study of viral infections is very useful to show how the virus replicates in an infected individual and how the human antibody response acts to control that replication, which antibody playing a key role in controlling infection. Objectives: Optimal control of a novel variable-order nonlinear model of dengue virus is studied in the present work. Bang-bang control is suggested to minimize the viral infection as well as quick clearance of the virus from the host. Necessary conditions for the control problem are given. The variable-order derivatives are given in the sense of Caputo. Moreover, the parameters of the proposed model are dependent on the same variable-order fractional power. Two numerical schemes are constructed for solving the optimality systems. Comparative studies and numerical simulations are implemented. The variable-order fractional derivative can be describe the effects of long variable memory of time dependent systems than the integer order and fractional order derivatives. Methods: Both the nonstandard generalized fourth order Runge-Kutta and the nonstandard generalized Euler methods are presented. Results: We have successfully applied a kind of Pontryagin's maximum principle with bang-bang control and were able to reduce the viraemia level by adding the dose of DI particles. The nonstandard generalized fourth order Runge-Kutta method has the best results than nonstandard generalized Euler method. Conclusion: The combination of the variable-order fractional derivative and bang-bang control in the Dengue mathematical model improves the dynamics of the model. The nonstandard generalized Euler method and the nonstandard generalized fourth order Runge-Kutta method can be used to study the variable order fractional optimal control problem simply.
