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

Logical models are widely used to study regulatory and signaling systems, yet their reuse, annotation, and exchange across tools remain challenging. Although SBML Level 3 Qualitative Models (SBML-qual) provides a standard representation, its XML-based syntax is difficult to inspect and edit directly. Here we introduce TabularQual, a spreadsheet-based, community-driven representation for Boolean and multi-valued logical models, together with a bidirectional converter between spreadsheets and SBML-qual. The converter is accessible programmatically and via a web interface to support diverse user workflows. We further describe two integration strategies that enable existing modeling tools to operate with TabularQual, either through SBML-qual exchange or via direct support. Case studies using the Stress Knowledge Map and CaSQ demonstrate how this integration supports model construction, curation, and reuse. TabularQual provides a practical bridge between human-readable model representations and standardized executable formats, supporting reproducibility, interoperability, and community-driven model development.
