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

Ambitious programs have recently been advocated or launched to create genomewide databases for meta-analysis of association between DNA markers and phenotypes of medical and/or social concern. A necessary but not sufficient condition for success in association mapping is that the data give accurate estimates of both genomic location and its standard error, which are provided for multifactorial phenotypes by composite likelihood. That class includes the Malecot model, which we here apply with an illustrative example. This preliminary analysis leads to five inferences: permutation of cases and controls provides a test of association free of autocorrelation; two hypotheses give similar estimates, but one is consistently more accurate; estimation of the false-discovery rate is extended to causal genes in a small proportion of regions; the minimal data for successful meta-analysis are inferred; and power is robust for all genomic factors except minor-allele frequency. An extension to meta-analysis is proposed. Other approaches to genome scanning and meta-analysis should, if possible, be similarly extended so that their operating characteristics can be compared.
