Mathematical model and computational scheme for multi-phase modeling of cellular population and microenvironmental dynamics in soft tissue.
Article in PloS one, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In this paper we introduce a system of partial differential equations that is capable of modeling a variety of dynamic processes in soft tissue cellular populations and their microenvironments. The model is designed to be general enough to simulate such processes as tissue regeneration, tumor growth, immune response, and many more. It also has built-in flexibility to include multiple chemical fields and/or sub-populations of cells, interstitial fluid and/or extracellular matrix. The model is derived from the conservation laws for mass and linear momentum and therefore can be classified as a continuum multi-phase model. A careful choice of state variables provides stability in solving the system of discretized equations defining advective flux terms. A concept of deviation from normal allows us to use simplified constitutive relations for stresses. We also present an algorithm for computing numerical approximations to the solutions of the system and discuss properties of these approximations. We demonstrate several examples of applications of the model. Numerical simulations show a significant potential of the model for simulating a variety of processes in soft tissues.
