INHERITANCE OF INTRACELLULAR VIRAL RNA IN A MULTISCALE MODEL OF HEPATITIS C INFECTION.
Article in SIAM journal on applied mathematics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Multiscale mathematical models of hepatitis C infection have been instrumental in our understanding of direct acting antivirals. These models include the mechanisms driving intracellular viral production and explicitly model the intracellular concentration of viral RNA. However, incorporating proliferation of infected hepatocytes in these models can be subtle, as infected daughter cells inherit viral RNA from the proliferating mother cell. Here, we show how to incorporate this inheritance within a multiscale model of HCV infection. As in typical multiscale models of HCV infection, we show that this model is mathematically equivalent to a system of ordinary differential equations and perform bifurcation analysis of the resulting ODE that demonstrates that proliferation of infected hepatocytes can lead to infection persistence even if the basic reproductive number is less than one.
