Modified quasispecies model: the analysis of a periodic therapy.
Article in Journal of mathematical biology, 2022. 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
We propose a modified mathematical model of the quasispecies type to analyze an unstable tumor progression evolution. In our study, we consider a heterogeneous population with different individuals, generated by the accumulation of successive mutations. Our model's main feature is that it allows for variable growth rates for each subpopulation and takes into account mutations from nonconsecutive types of mutants. Bifurcations and linear stability of the steady states are analyzed. We focus on two equilibria; one of them implies the coexistence of anomalous growth and genetically unstable cells. The other one yields the dominance of the anomalous growth population and the extinction of the malignant cells. However, linear stability analysis of the second equilibrium is inconclusive and suggests a suitable environment for the study of periodic therapy. This is carried out by introducing a small perturbation modeling the effect of a periodic medical treatment. As a result, a Zero-Hopf periodic orbit is identified, showing a cyclic behavior among the populations, with a strong dominance of the parental anomalous growth cell population.
