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

In disequilibrium mapping from data on a rare allele, interest may focus on the ancestry of a random sample of current descendants of a mutation. The mutation is assumed to have been introduced into the population as a single copy a known time ago and to have reached a given copy number within the population. Theory has been developed to describe the ancestral distribution under arbitrary patterns of population expansion. Further results permit convenient realization of the ancestry for a random sample of copies of a rare allele within populations of constant size or within populations growing or shrinking at constant exponential rate. In this article, we present an efficient approximate method for realizing coalescence times under more general patterns of population growth. We also apply diagnostics, checking the age of the mutation. In the course of the derivation, some additional insight is gained into the dynamics of the descendants of the mutation.
