Estimating treatment sensitivity in synthetic and in vitro tumors using a random differential equation model.
Article in NPJ systems biology and applications, 2025. 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
Resistance to treatment, which comes from the heterogeneity of cell types within tumors, is a leading cause of poor treatment outcomes in cancer patients. Previous mathematical work modeling cancer over time has neither emphasized the relationship between cell heterogeneity and treatment resistance nor depicted heterogeneity with sufficient nuance. To respond to the need to depict a wide range of resistance levels, we develop a random differential equation model of tumor growth. Random differential equations are differential equations in which the parameters are random variables. In the inverse problem, we aim to recover the sensitivity to treatment as a probability mass function. This allows us to observe what proportions of cells exist at different sensitivity levels. After validating the method with synthetic data, we apply it to monoclonal and mixture cell population data of isogenic Ba/F3 murine cell lines to uncover each tumor's levels of sensitivity to treatment as a probability mass function.
