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

Both machine learning and mechanistic modelling approaches have been used independently with great success in systems biology. Machine learning excels in deriving statistical relationships and quantitative prediction from data, while mechanistic modelling is a powerful approach to capture knowledge and infer causal mechanisms underpinning biological phenomena. Importantly, the strengths of one are the weaknesses of the other, which suggests that substantial gains can be made by combining machine learning with mechanistic modelling, a field referred to as Scientific Machine Learning (SciML). In this review we discuss recent advances in combining these two approaches for systems biology, and point out future avenues for its application in the biological sciences.
