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

motivationLinkage and quantitative trait loci (QTL) maps are critical tools for the study of the genetic basis of complex traits. With the advances in sequencing technology over the past decade, linkage map densities have been increasing dramatically, while the visualization tools have not kept pace. LinkageMapView is a free add-on package written in R that produces high resolution, publication-ready visualizations of linkage and QTL maps. While there is software available to generate linkage map graphics, none are freely available, produce publication quality figures, are open source and can run on all platforms. LinkageMapView can be integrated into map building pipelines as it seamlessly incorporates output from R/qtl and also accepts simple text or comma delimited files. There are numerous options within the package to build highly customizable maps, allow for linkage group comparisons, and annotate QTL regions.
