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.

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.

Abstract

The burden test and the sequence kernel association test (SKAT) are two popular methods for detecting association with rare variants. Treated as two different sources of association information, they are adaptively combined to form an optimal SKAT (SKAT-O) method for optimal power. We show that the burden test is part of rather than independent of the SKAT. We introduce a new test statistic that is the sum of the burden statistic and a statistic asymptotically independent of the burden statistic. The performance of this new test statistic is demonstrated through extensive simulation studies and applications to a Genetic Analysis Workshop 17 data set and the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study data.
