Review in Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 7 papers.

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

Candidate gene identification is typically labour intensive, involving laboratory experiments required to corroborate or disprove any hypothesis for a nominated candidate gene being considered the causative gene. The traditional approach to reduce the number of candidate genes entails fine-mapping studies using markers and pedigrees. Gene prioritization establishes the ranking of candidate genes based on their relevance to the biological process of interest, from which the most promising genes can be selected for further analysis. To date, many computational methods have focused on the prediction of candidate genes by analysis of their inherent sequence characteristics and similarity with respect to known disease genes, as well as their functional annotation. In the last decade, several computational tools for prioritizing candidate genes have been proposed. A large number of them are web-based tools, while others are standalone applications that install and run locally. This review attempts to take a close look at gene prioritization criteria, as well as candidate gene prioritization algorithms, and thus provide a comprehensive synopsis of the subject matter.
