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

backgroundThere is great interest in the use of computationally intensive methods for fine mapping of marker data. In this paper we develop methods based upon ideas originally proposed 100 years ago in the context of spatial clustering.

methodsWe use spatial clustering of haplotypes as a low-dimensional surrogate for the unobserved genealogy underlying a set of genotype data. In doing so we hope to avoid the computational complexity inherent in explicitly modelling details of the ancestry of the sample, while at the same time capturing the key correlations induced by that ancestry at a much lower computational cost.

resultsWe benchmark our methods using the simulated Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 data, using 100 replicates of 4 phenotypes to indicate the power of our method. When a functional mutation relating to a trait is actually present, we find evidence for that mutation in 97 out of 100 replicates, on average.

conclusionOur results show that our method has the ability to accurately infer the location of functional mutations from unphased genotype data.
