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

Neural ordinary differential equations (NODEs) are an emerging machine learning (ML) method to model pharmacometric (PMX) data. Combining mechanism-based components to describe "known parts" and neural networks to learn "unknown parts" is a promising ML-based PMX approach. In this work, the implementation of low-dimensional NODEs in two widely applied PMX software packages (Monolix and NONMEM) is explained. Inter-individual variability is introduced to NODEs and proposals for the practical implementation of NODEs in such software are presented. The potential of such implementations is shown on various demonstrational datasets available in the Monolix model library, including pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD), and survival analyses. All datasets were fitted with NODEs in Monolix and NONMEM and showed comparable results to classical modeling approaches. Model codes for demonstrated PK, PKPD, TMDD applications are made available, allowing a reproducible and straight-forward implementation of NODEs in available PMX software packages.
