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

Cellular signalling is a vital process in living organisms for coordinating highly diverse responses to various stimuli. Particle-based modelling excels in its ability to model complex features of cellular signalling pathways including stochasticity, spatial effects, and heterogeneity, thus improving our understanding of critical decision processes in biology. Yet, particle-based modelling is computationally prohibitive to implement. We recently developed FaST (FLAME-accelerated signalling tool), a software tool that harnesses the power of high-performance computation to reduce the computational burden of particle-based modelling. In particular, employing the unique massively parallel architecture of graphic processing units (GPUs) provided extreme speed ups of simulations by >650-fold. In this chapter, we provide a step-by-step walkthrough of how to use FaST to create GPU-accelerated simulations of a simple cellular signalling network. We further explore how the flexibility of FaST can be used to implement entirely customized simulations while still including the intrinsic speed up advantages of GPU-based parallelization.
