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

Genomewide association studies (GWAs) initially investigate hundreds of thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and the most promising SNPs are further evaluated with additional subjects, for replication or a joint analysis. Deciding which SNPs merit follow-up is one of the most crucial aspects of these studies. We present here an approach for selecting the most-promising SNPs that incorporates into a hierarchical model both conventional results and other existing information about the SNPs. The model is developed for general use, its potential value is shown by application, and tools are provided for undertaking hierarchical modeling. By quantitatively harnessing all available information in GWAs, hierarchical modeling may more clearly distinguish true causal variants from noise.
