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

Epistasis is a common and important phenomenon, as indicated by results from a number of recent experiments. Unfortunately, the discovery of epistatic quantitative trait loci (QTL) is difficult since one must search for multiple QTL simultaneously in two or more dimensions. Such a multidimensional search necessitates many statistical tests, and a high statistical threshold must be adopted to avoid false positives. Furthermore, the large number of (interaction) parameters in comparison with the number of observations results in a serious danger of overfitting and overinterpretation of the data. In this article we present a new statistical framework for mapping epistasis in inbred line crosses. It is based on reducing the high dimensionality of the problem in two ways. First, epistatic QTL are mapped in a one-dimensional genome scan for high interactions between QTL and the genetic background. Second, the dimension of the search is bounded by penalized likelihood methods. We use simulated backcross data to illustrate the new approach.
