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

A methodology is introduced for numerical evaluation, with any given accuracy, of the cumulative probabilities of the proportion of genome shared identical by descent (IBD) on chromosome segments by two individuals in a grandparent-type relationship. Programs are provided in the popular software package Maple for rapidly implementing such evaluations in the cases of grandchild-grandparent and great-grandchild-great-grandparent relationships. Our results can be used to identify chromosomal segments that may contain disease genes. Also, exact P values in significance testing for resemblance of either a grandparent with a grandchild or a great-grandparent with a great-grandchild can be calculated. The genomic continuum model, with Haldane's model for the crossover process, is assumed. This is the model that has been used recently in the genetics literature devoted to IBD calculations. Our methodology is based on viewing the model as a special exponential family and elaborating on recent research results for such families.
