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

Multiple rare variants have been suggested as accounting for some of the associations with common single nucleotide polymorphisms identified in genome-wide association studies or possibly some of the as yet undiscovered heritability. We consider the power of various approaches to designing substudies aimed at using next-generation sequencing technologies to discover novel variants and to select some subsets that are possibly causal for genotyping in the original case-control study and testing for association using various weighted sum indices. We find that the selection of variants based on the statistical significance of the case-control difference in the subsample yields good power for testing rare variant indices in the main study, and that multivariate models including both the summary index of rare variants and the associated common single nucleotide polymorphisms can distinguish which is the causal factor. By simulation, we explore the effects of varying the size of the discovery subsample, choice of index, and true causal model.
