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

Petri nets are commonly applied in modeling biological systems. However, construction of a Petri net model for complex biological systems is often time consuming, and requires expertise in the research area, limiting their application. To address this challenge, we developed GINtoSPN, an R package that automates the conversion of multi-omics molecular interaction network extracted from the Global Integrative Network (GIN) into Petri nets in GraphML format. These GraphML files can be directly used for Signaling Petri Net (SPN) simulation. To demonstrate the utility of this tool, we built a Petri net model for neurofibromatosis type I. Simulation of NF1 gene knockout, compared to normal skin fibroblast cells, revealed persistent accumulation of Ras-GTPs as expected. Additionally, we identified several other genes substantially affected by the loss of NF1's function, exhibiting individual-specific variability. These results highlight the effectiveness of GINtoSPN in streamlining the modeling and simulation of complex biological systems.
