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

When considering low-dimensional gene-treatment or gene-environment interactions we might suspect groups of genes to interact with treatment or environment in a similar way. For example, genes associated with related biological processes might interact with an environmental factor or a clinical treatment in its effect on a phenotype correspondingly. We use the idea of a structured interaction model together with penalized regression to limit the model complexity in a model in which we believe the interactions might behave in a similar way. We propose the directed lasso, a regression modeling strategy using a pairwise fused lasso penalty to encourage interaction model simplicity through fusion of effect size. We compare the performance of the directed lasso to the lasso and other methods in a simulation study and on data sampled from a breast cancer clinical trial.
