Recursive partitioning models for linkage in COGA data.
Article in BMC genetics, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We have developed a recursive-partitioning (RP) algorithm for identifying phenotype and covariate groupings that interact with the evidence for linkage. This data-mining approach for detecting gene x environment interactions uses genotype and covariate data on affected relative pairs to find evidence for linkage heterogeneity across covariate-defined subgroups. We adapted a likelihood-ratio based test of linkage parameterized with relative risks to a recursive partitioning framework, including a cross-validation based deviance measurement for choosing optimal tree size and a bootstrap sampling procedure for choosing robust tree structure. ALDX2 category 5 individuals were considered affected, categories 1 and 3 unaffected, and all others unknown. We sampled non-overlapping affected relative pairs from each family; therefore, we used 144 affected pairs in the RP model. Twenty pair-level covariates were defined from smoking status, maximum drinks, ethnicity, sex, and age at onset. Using the all-pairs score in GENEHUNTER, the nonparametric linkage tests showed no regions with suggestive linkage evidence. However, using the RP model, several suggestive regions were found on chromosomes 2, 4, 6, 14, and 20, with detection of associated covariates such as sex and age at onset.
