Poincaré and SimBio: a versatile and extensible Python ecosystem for modeling systems.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2024. 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
motivationChemical reaction networks (CRNs) play a pivotal role in diverse fields such as systems biology, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and epidemiology. High-level definitions of CRNs enables to use various simulation approaches, including deterministic and stochastic methods, from the same model. However, existing Python tools for simulation of CRN typically wrap external C/C++ libraries for model definition, translation into equations and/or numerically solving them, limiting their extensibility and integration with the broader Python ecosystem.
resultsIn response, we developed Poincaré and SimBio, two novel Python packages for simulation of dynamical systems and CRNs. Poincaré serves as a foundation for dynamical systems modeling, while SimBio extends this functionality to CRNs, including support for the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). Poincaré and SimBio are developed as pure Python packages enabling users to easily extend their simulation capabilities by writing new or leveraging other Python packages. Moreover, this does not compromise the performance, as code can be just-in-time compiled with Numba. Our benchmark tests using curated models from the BioModels repository demonstrate that these tools may provide a potentially superior performance advantage compared to other existing tools. In addition, to ensure a user-friendly experience, our packages use standard typed modern Python syntax that provides a seamless integration with integrated development environments. Our Python-centric approach significantly enhances code analysis, error detection, and refactoring capabilities, positioning Poincaré and SimBio as valuable tools for the modeling community. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Poincaré and SimBio are released under the MIT license. Their source code is available on GitHub (https://github.com/maurosilber/poincare and https://github.com/hgrecco/simbio) and can be installed from PyPI or conda-forge.
