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

Association mapping has become a widely applied genomic approach to dissect the genetic architecture of complex traits. A major issue for association mapping is the need to control for the confounding effects of population structure, which is commonly done by mixed models incorporating kinship information. In this case study, we employed experimental data from a large sugar beet population to evaluate multi-locus models for association mapping. As in linkage mapping, markers are selected as cofactors to control for population structure and genetic background variation. We compared different biometric models with regard to important quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping parameters like the false-positive rate, the QTL detection power and the predictive power for the proportion of explained genotypic variance. Employing different approaches we show that the multi-locus model, that is, incorporating cofactors, outperforms the other models, including the mixed model used as a reference model. Thus, multi-locus models are an attractive alternative for association mapping to efficiently detect QTL for knowledge-based breeding.
