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

We develop recent work on using graphical models for linkage disequilibrium to provide efficient programs for model fitting, phasing, and imputation of missing data in large data sets. Two important features contribute to the computational efficiency: the separation of the model fitting and phasing-imputation processes into different programs, and holding in memory only the data within a moving window of loci during model fitting. Optimal parameter values were chosen by cross-validation to maximize the probability of correctly imputing masked genotypes. The best accuracy obtained is slightly below than that from the Beagle program of Browning and Browning, and our fitting program is slower. However, for large data sets, it uses less storage. For a reference set of n individuals genotyped at m markers, the time and storage required for fitting a graphical model are approximately O(nm) and O(n+m), respectively. To impute the phases and missing data on n individuals using an already fitted graphical model requires O(nm) time and O(m) storage. While the times for fitting and imputation are both O(nm), the imputation process is considerably faster; thus, once a model is estimated from a reference data set, the marginal cost of phasing and imputing further samples is very low.
