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

Linkage disequilibrium is the association between alleles in the allele distributions across linked loci and is intermediate in character between the dependence and the independence of allele distribution. This ambivalence makes linkage disequilibrium difficult to understand and to treat mathematically. To overcome this difficulty, an attempt was made to divide linkage disequilibrium between absolute linkage disequilibrium, which is a complete dependence of allele distribution, and linkage equilibrium, which is a complete independence. A matrix description of linkage disequilibrium showed that (1) linkage disequilibrium is divided between absolute linkage disequilibrium and linkage equilibrium, (2) a linkage disequilibrium state is characterized by the allele frequency in the first locus p, the relative content of absolute linkage disequilibrium d and the linkage equilibrium variable c, and (3) r is the geometric mean of both orientation's d. Division of linkage disequilibrium may make linkage disequilibrium straightforward to understand and to treat mathematically.
