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

The 'large p, small n' problem in genomewide association studies (GWAS) is an important subject in genetic studies. Many approaches have been proposed for this issue, but none of them successfully combine the Haseman-Elston (H-E) regression with sliding-window scan approaches in GWAS. In this article, we extended H-E regression to GWAS, and replaced original data with different measurements of phenotype of sib pairs. Meanwhile, we also applied hidden Markov model to infer identity by state. Using subsequent simulation studies, we found that it had higher statistical power than the corresponding single-marker association studies. The advantage of the H-E regression was also sufficient to capture about 48.01% of the quantitative trait locus (QTL). Meanwhile, the results show that the power decreases with the increase in the number of QTLs, and the power of H-E regression is sensitive to heritability.
