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

backgroundDetecting and visualizing nonlinear interaction effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or epistatic interactions are important topics in bioinformatics since they play an important role in unraveling the mystery of "missing heritability". However, related studies are almost limited to pairwise epistatic interactions due to their methodological and computational challenges.

resultsWe develop CINOEDV (Co-Information based N-Order Epistasis Detector and Visualizer) for the detection and visualization of epistatic interactions of their orders from 1 to n (n ≥ 2). CINOEDV is composed of two stages, namely, detecting stage and visualizing stage. In detecting stage, co-information based measures are employed to quantify association effects of n-order SNP combinations to the phenotype, and two types of search strategies are introduced to identify n-order epistatic interactions: an exhaustive search and a particle swarm optimization based search. In visualizing stage, all detected n-order epistatic interactions are used to construct a hypergraph, where a real vertex represents the main effect of a SNP and a virtual vertex denotes the interaction effect of an n-order epistatic interaction. By deeply analyzing the constructed hypergraph, some hidden clues for better understanding the underlying genetic architecture of complex diseases could be revealed.

conclusionsExperiments of CINOEDV and its comparison with existing state-of-the-art methods are performed on both simulation data sets and a real data set of age-related macular degeneration. Results demonstrate that CINOEDV is promising in detecting and visualizing n-order epistatic interactions. CINOEDV is implemented in R and is freely available from R CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org and https://sourceforge.net/projects/cinoedv/files/ .
