A unified sparse representation for sequence variant identification for complex traits.
Article in Genetic epidemiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Joint adjustment of cryptic relatedness and population structure is necessary to reduce bias in DNA sequence analysis; however, existent sparse regression methods model these two confounders separately. Incorporating prior biological information has great potential to enhance statistical power but such information is often overlooked in many existent sparse regression models. We developed a unified sparse regression (USR) to incorporate prior information and jointly adjust for cryptic relatedness, population structure, and other environmental covariates. Our USR models cryptic relatedness as a random effect and population structure as fixed effect, and utilize the weighted penalties to incorporate prior knowledge. As demonstrated by extensive simulations, our USR algorithm can discover more true causal variants and maintain a lower false discovery rate than do several commonly used feature selection methods. It can handle both rare and common variants simultaneously. Applying our USR algorithm to DNA sequence data of Mexican Americans from GAW18, we replicated three hypertension pathways, demonstrating the effectiveness in identifying susceptibility genetic variants.
