Specification testing for ordinary differential equation models with fixed design and applications to COVID-19 epidemic models.
Article in Computational statistics & data analysis, 2023. 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
Checking the models about the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is an important issue. Some famous ordinary differential equation (ODE) models, such as the SIR and SEIR models have been used to describe and predict the epidemic trend. Still, in many cases, only part of the equations can be observed. A test is suggested to check possibly partially observed ODE models with a fixed design sampling scheme. The asymptotic properties of the test under the null, global and local alternative hypotheses are presented. Two new propositions about U-statistics with varying kernels based on independent but non-identical data are derived as essential tools. Some simulation studies are conducted to examine the performances of the test. Based on the available public data, it is found that the SEIR model, for modeling the data of COVID-19 infective cases in certain periods in Japan and Algeria, respectively, maybe not be appropriate by applying the proposed test.
