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

Detection of gene-gene interaction has become increasingly popular over the past decade in genome wide association studies (GWAS). Besides traditional logistic regression analysis for detecting interactions between two markers, new methods have been developed in recent years such as comparing linkage disequilibrium (LD) in case and control groups. All these methods form the building blocks of most screening strategies for disease susceptibility loci in GWAS. In this paper, we are interested in comparing the competing methods and providing practical guidelines for selecting appropriate testing methods for interaction in GWAS. We first review a series of existing statistical methods to detect interactions, and then examine different definitions of interactions to gain insight into the theoretical relationship between the existing testing methods. Lastly, we perform extensive simulations to compare powers of various methods to detect either interaction between two markers at two unlinked loci or the overall association allowing for both interaction and main effects. This investigation reveals informative characteristics of various methods that are helpful to GWAS investigators.
