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

objectiveIdentifying genotyping errors is an important issue in genetic research, yet it has been relatively less studied in samples consisting of unrelated individuals. In this article, we consider several models of genotyping errors, which were originally proposed for pedigree data, for unrelated population samples with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data. The mathematical constraints are investigated for detecting genotyping errors without resampling replicates or genotyping relatives.

methodsFor the various proposed genotyping error models, we unveil the conditions under which the parameters are identifiable. These results are verified through applications to simulated and real SNP data.

resultsWe show that, with constraints, two particular models provide both identifiable error rate and allele frequencies of an SNP for unrelated population data. The simulation study shows that these two models present unbiased estimates for the allele frequencies. One of the models also gives an unbiased estimate for the genotyping error rate.

conclusionWhile the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test can be used to detect genotyping errors, a key advantage of these models is the explicit estimates of genotyping error rates and allele frequencies. This work may help researchers to estimate error rates and to use the estimates in their analysis to increase power and decrease bias, without the extra work of genotyping family members or replicates.
