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

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model for cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling. Governing equations for the synthesis, diffusion, and degradation of cAMP were numerically implemented using the finite element method. Simulated results were displayed as time course plots of cAMP concentrations at selected nodes within the discretized geometry. The validity of the finite element model was assessed by comparing simulated results against analytical or other numerical solutions of cAMP concentration distribution for a spherical cellular volume. An endothelial cell was also simulated using its discretized geometry obtained from microscopic cellular cross-sectional images. Simulated solutions using the spherical cellular volume produced near identical cAMP concentration plots to the analytical solutions and were in good agreements with numerical results obtained from VCell, an existing software package for modeling cell biological systems. The validated 3-D finite element model was then employed to simulate the cAMP signaling pathway within a pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell geometry.
