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

backgroundRecent studies have shown genetic variation is the basis of the genome-wide disease association research. However, due to the high cost on genotyping large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), it is essential to choose a small subset of informative SNPs (tagSNPs), which are able to capture most variation in a population, to represent the rest SNPs. Several methods have been proposed to find the minimum set of tagSNPs, but most of them still have some disadvantages such as information loss and block-partition limit.

resultsThis paper proposes a new hybrid method named CGTS which combines the ideas of the clustering and the graph algorithms to select tagSNPs on genotype data. This method aims to maximize the number of the discarding nontagSNPs in the given set. CGTS integrates the information of the LD association and the genotype diversity using the site graphs, discards redundant SNPs using the algorithm based on these graph structures. The clustering algorithm is used to reduce the running time of CGTS. The efficiency of the algorithm and quality of solutions are evaluated on biological data and the comparisons with three popular selecting methods are shown in the paper.

conclusionOur theoretical analysis and experimental results show that our algorithm CGTS is not only more efficient than other methods but also can be get higher accuracy in tagSNP selection.
