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 the post-genome era, disease gene mapping using dense genetic markers has become an important tool for dissecting complex inheritable diseases. Locating disease susceptibility genes using DNA-pooling experiments is a potentially economical alternative to those involving individual genotyping. The foundation of a successful DNA-pooling association test is a precise and accurate estimation of allele frequency. In this article, we propose two new adjustment methods that correct for preferential amplification of nucleotides when estimating the allele frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We also discuss the effect of sample size when calibrating unequal allelic amplification. We conducted simulation studies to assess the performance of different adjustment procedures and found that our proposed adjustments are more reliable with respect to the estimation bias and root mean square error compared with the current approach. The improved performance not only improves the accuracy and precision of allele frequency estimations but also leads to more powerful disease gene mapping.
