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

Practical identifiability analysis (PIA) plays a crucial role in model development by assessing whether the available data are sufficient to yield reliable parameter estimates. In bioengineering applications, identifying the minimal experimental design that ensures parameter identifiability is essential in order to reduce cost, time, and resource consumption. In this paper, we introduce E-ALPIPE, a sequential active learning algorithm that recommends new data collection points most likely to establish practical identifiability given the current data, mathematical model and noise assumptions. We empirically evaluate E-ALPIPE against both a benchmark algorithm from the literature and random sampling over three synthetic experiments. Our results show that E-ALPIPE substantially reduces the number of observations required to achieve practical identifiability, while producing comparable or narrower confidence intervals and more accurate point estimates of system dynamics.
