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

Previous quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of an intercross involving the inbred mouse strains NZB/BlNJ and SM/J revealed QTL for a variety of complex traits. Many QTL have large intervals containing hundreds of genes, and methods are needed to rapidly sort through these genes for probable candidates. We chose nine QTL: the three most significant for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, gallstone formation, and obesity. We searched for candidate genes using three different approaches: mRNA microarray gene expression technology to assess >45,000 transcripts, publicly available SNPs to locate genes that are not identical by descent and that contain nonsynonymous coding differences, and a mass-spectrometry-based proteomics technology to interrogate nearly 1000 proteins for differential expression in the liver of the two parental inbred strains. This systematic approach reduced the number of candidate genes within each QTL from hundreds to a manageable list. Each of the three approaches selected candidates that the other two approaches missed. For example, candidate genes such as Apoa2 and Acads had differential protein levels although the mRNA levels were similar. We conclude that all three approaches are important and that focusing on a single approach such as mRNA expression may fail to identify a QTL gene.
