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

backgroundSNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) genotype data are increasingly available in cattle populations and, among other things, can be used to predict carriers of specific haplotypes. It is therefore convenient to have a practical statistical method for the accurate classification of individuals into carriers and non-carriers. In this paper, we present a procedure combining variable selection (i.e. the selection of predictive SNPs) and linear discriminant analysis for the identification of carriers of a haplotype on BTA19 (Bos taurus autosome 19) known to be associated with reduced cow fertility. A population of 3645 Brown Swiss cows and bulls genotyped with the 54K SNP-chip was available for the analysis.

resultsThe overall error rate for the prediction of haplotype carriers was on average very low (∼≤1%). The error rate was found to depend on the number of SNPs in the model and their density around the region of the haplotype on BTA19. The minimum set of SNPs to still achieve accurate predictions was 5, with a total test error rate of 1.59.

conclusionsThe paper describes a procedure to accurately identify haplotype carriers from SNP genotypes in cattle populations. Very few misclassifications were observed, which indicates that this is a very reliable approach for potential applications in cattle breeding.
