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

Genome-wide search for new disease variants, based on well-established variants, has a long history in linkage analysis but is less well-known in genetic case-control association studies. We developed a simple yet highly efficient conditional search method that can find new variants, which are associated with a disease only through epistatic interaction with another variant and do not necessarily have a direct association effect. Our approach is analogous to partitioning of chi(2) in a hierarchical design, which is a well-established statistical technique. Applied to previously published data on age-related macular degeneration, our method found two single-nucleotide polymorphisms with genome-wide significant epistatic interaction that could not be found based only on direct main effects.
