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

Multilocus analysis of single-nucleotide-polymorphism (SNP) haplotypes may provide evidence of association with disease, even when the individual loci themselves do not. Haplotype-based methods are expected to outperform single-SNP analyses because (i) common genetic variation can be structured into haplotypes within blocks of strong linkage disequilibrium and (ii) the functional properties of a protein are determined by the linear sequence of amino acids corresponding to DNA variation on a haplotype. Here, I propose a flexible Bayesian framework for modeling haplotype association with disease in population-based studies of candidate genes or small candidate regions. I employ a Bayesian partition model to describe the correlation between marker-SNP haplotypes and causal variants at the underlying functional polymorphism(s). Under this model, haplotypes are clustered according to their similarity, in terms of marker-SNP allele matches, which is used as a proxy for recent shared ancestry. Haplotypes within a cluster are then assigned the same probability of carrying a causal variant at the functional polymorphism(s). In this way, I can account for the dominance effect of causal variants, here corresponding to any deviation from a multiplicative contribution to disease risk. The results of a detailed simulation study demonstrate that there is minimal cost associated with modeling these dominance effects, with substantial gains in power over haplotype-based methods that do not incorporate clustering and that assume a multiplicative model of disease risks.
