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

The Haseman-Elston (HE) regression, developed in the 1970s, remains in common use to detect genetic linkage between a quantitative trait and a genetic marker. Although the technique has been improved in a number of ways, it predicts a high rate of false positive quantitative trait locus (QTL) because it is based on a single-QTL model. We have extended the origin HE regression to multi-QTL HE (MQHE) regression, so that all markers across the entire genome can be exploited simultaneously. The parameters have been estimated by the penalized maximum likelihood method, and several response variables for phenotypic difference have been compared in order to optimize the procedure. The method has been tested by simulation in a pedigree population of maize inbred lines of known ancestry. These simulations show that the trait product is the optimal response variable for phenotypic difference. The false positive rate produced by the MQHE regression is substantially lower than that generated by either variance component analysis or the origin HE regression. The MQHE regression, with the trait product as the response variable, represents a significant improvement on existing methods for QTL mapping in a set of inbred lines (or cultivars) of known ancestry.
