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

Keizer initially described Pirana as a workbench designed to streamline management of NONMEM modeling, visualization, and analysis. Initial versions of Pirana integrated tools included NONMEM and PSN. As new tools have become available to pharmacometricians, new capabilities have been added to Pirana. These capabilities include: Integration of the NLME engine via the R speaks NLME (RsNLME) package for developing NLME models Integration of a Shiny graphical interface for the construction of NLME models Integration of machine learning pyDarwin python package Integration of a Shiny interface for custom diagnostics including Goodness of Fit (GOF) plots, tables, Visual Predictive Check (VPC) and report shell generation Improved setup with support for parallel execution on a wide range of platforms In this tutorial, we present a full workflow demonstrating how to use Pirana to build, fit, post-process, and perform VPC on models using NONMEM and NLME. In addition, we show how to use the machine learning-driven pyDarwin package with Pirana to automatically search model structures, random effects, and covariate models.
