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

Epistatic interactions among loci are expected to contribute substantially to variation of quantitative traits. The objectives of our research were to (i) compare a classical mixed-model approach with a combined mixed-model and analysis of variance approach for detecting epistatic interactions; (ii) examine using computer simulations the statistical power to detect additive-additive, additive-dominance and dominance-dominance epistatic interactions and (iii) detect epistatic interactions between candidate genes for resistance to leaf blight in a set of tetraploid potato clones. Our study was based on the genotypic and phenotypic data of 184 tetraploid potato cultivars as well as computer simulations. The number of significant (α* =1 × 10(-6)) epistatic interactions ranged for the three examined traits from 3 to 32. Our findings suggested that the combined mixed-model and analysis of variance approach leads in comparison with the classical mixed-model approach not to an increased rate of false-positives. The results of the computer simulations suggested that, if molecular markers are available that are in high LD (D'>0.9) with the trait-coding loci, the statistical power to detect epistatic interactions, which explain 5-10% of the phenotypic variance, was of a size that seems promising for their detection.
