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

backgroundSequencing and genotyping technology advancements have led to massive, growing repositories of spatially explicit genetic data and increasing quantities of temporal data (i.e., ancient DNA). These data will allow more complex and fine-scale inferences about population history than ever before; however, new methods are needed to test complex hypotheses.

resultsThis article presents popRange, a forward genetic simulator, which incorporates large-scale genetic data with stochastic spatially and temporally explicit demographic and selective models. Features such as spatially and temporally variable selection coefficients and demography are incorporated in a highly flexible manner. popRange is implemented as an R package and presented with an example simulation exploring a selected allele's trajectory in multiple subpopulations.

conclusionspopRange allows researchers to evaluate and test complex scenarios by simulating large-scale data with complicated demographic and selective features. popRange is available for download at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/popRange/index.html.
