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

Recent technological development in genetics has made large-scale marker genotyping fast and practicable, facilitating studies for detection of QTL in large general pedigrees. We developed a method that speeds up restricted maximum-likelihood (REML) algorithms for QTL analysis by simplifying the inversion of the variance-covariance matrix of the trait vector. The method was tested in an experimental chicken pedigree including 767 phenotyped individuals and 14 genotyped markers on chicken chromosome 1. The computation time in a chromosome scan covering 475 cM was reduced by 43% when the analysis was based on linkage only and by 72% when linkage disequilibrium information was included. The relative advantage of using our method increases with pedigree size, marker density, and linkage disequilibrium, indicating even greater improvements in the future.
