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

We study the long time behavior of an asymmetric size-structured measure-valued growth-fragmentation branching process that models the dynamics of a population of cells taking into account physiological and morphological asymmetry at division. We show that the process exhibits a Malthusian behavior; that is that the global population size grows exponentially fast and that the trait distribution of individuals converges to some stable distribution. The proof is based on a generalization of Lyapunov function techniques for non-conservative semi-groups. We then investigate the fluctuations of the growth rate with respect to the parameters guiding asymmetry. In particular, we exhibit that, under some special assumptions, symmetric division is sub-optimal in a Darwinian sense.
