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 new statistical approach for construction of the genetic linkage map and estimation of the parental linkage phase based on allele frequency data from pooled gametic (sperm or egg) samples is introduced. This method can be applied for estimation of recombination fractions (over distances <1 cM) and ordering of large numbers (even hundreds) of closely linked markers. This method should be extremely useful in species with a long generation interval and a large genome size such as in dairy cattle or in forest trees; the conifer species have haploid tissues available in megagametophytes. According to Mendelian expectation, two parental alleles should occur in gametes in 1:1 proportions, if segregation distortion does not occur. However, due to mere sampling variation, the observed proportions may deviate from their expected value in practice. These deviations and their dependence along the chromosome can provide information on the parental linkage phase and on the genetic linkage map. Usefulness of the method is illustrated with simulations. The role of segregation distortion as a source of these deviations is also discussed. The software implementing this method is freely available for research purposes from the authors.
