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

Building the mathematical models to study the dynamics of prey-predator relationship in ecology is a long standing research topic. The only connection that has been established between real data and ecological models is through parameter estimation. Till date, only a few studies have attempted to formulate ecological models directly from real data without prior knowledge of the underlying structure of the system being modeled. Present work is an attempt in this direction. The ecological study of the moose (Alces alces) and wolf (Canis lupus) populations of Isle Royale National Park (USA) is the longest running large mammal prey-predator study in the world. In this study, we formulate mathematical models of moose and wolf dynamics from yearly reported population data from 1959 to 2019 using sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems (SINDy) algorithm. We have used SINDy and Ensemble SINDy (E-SINDy) algorithms with model selection techniques on the park data. We have performed global uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of the best obtained model. The findings suggest that the mathematical models obtained using E-SINDy method is a close representation of the moose-wolf relationship in Isle Royale.
