A novel Markov chain monte carlo approach for constructing accurate meiotic maps.
Article in Genetics, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Mapping markers from linkage data continues to be a task performed in many genetic epidemiological studies. Data collected in a study may be used to refine published map estimates and a study may use markers that do not appear in any published map. Furthermore, inaccuracies in meiotic maps can seriously bias linkage findings. To make best use of the available marker information, multilocus linkage analyses are performed. However, two computational issues greatly limit the number of markers currently mapped jointly; the number of candidate marker orders increases exponentially with marker number and computing exact multilocus likelihoods on general pedigrees is computationally demanding. In this article, a new Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach that solves both these computational problems is presented. The MCMC approach allows many markers to be mapped jointly, using data observed on general pedigrees with unobserved individuals. The performance of the new mapping procedure is demonstrated through the analysis of simulated and real data. The MCMC procedure performs extremely well, even when there are millions of candidate orders, and gives results superior to those of CRI-MAP.
