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

Accurate estimation of map distance between markers is important for the construction of large-scale linkage maps because it provides reliable and useful linkage information of markers on chromosomes. How to improve accuracy of estimating map distances depends on an appropriate mapping function. We used the coefficient of coincidence to integrate the Haldane function, in which crossovers are assumed to be independent and the Morgan function, in which crossovers are assumed to be interfered, and produce a new mapping function. The mapping function based on positive interference is referred to as the positive function and that on negative interference as the negative function. In these two mapping functions, map distances between loci are determined by both recombination frequencies and the coefficient of coincidence. We applied our mapping functions to four examples and show that our map estimates have much higher goodness-of-fit to the observed mapping data than the Haldane and Kosambi functions. Therefore, they can provide much more precise estimates of map distances than the two conventional mapping functions. Furthermore, our mapping functions produced almost linear (additive) map distances.
