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

A two-stage association study is the most commonly used method to efficiently identify disease susceptibility genes. However, some recent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies recently utilized three-stage designs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the practical properties of statistical powers and positive predictive values (PPVs) of replication-based analysis (RBA) and the joint analysis (JA) in multistage designs. For this purpose, a program for multistage designs was developed to calculate these performance indicators under various conditions of the number of samples, alleles of candidates, alleles remaining in the final stage, and genotypings. The results showed that the powers and PPVs of RBA and JA in three-stage designs were higher than those in two-stage designs in the range of a smaller proportion of sample size than 0.5 at the first stage. This tendency was more remarkable in JA. In conclusion, researchers who perform SNP studies for identifying disease susceptibility genes need to take account of three-stage case-control association studies, corresponding to study conditions such as the total numbers of samples, alleles, and genotypings. Furthermore, the program developed in this study is useful for estimating powers and PPVs in planning multistage association studies.
