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

For the risk, progression, and response to treatment of many complex diseases, it has been increasingly recognized that genetic interactions (including gene-gene and gene-environment interactions) play important roles beyond the main genetic and environmental effects. In practical genetic interaction analyses, model mis-specification and outliers/contaminations in response variables and covariates are not uncommon, and demand robust analysis methods. Compared with their nonrobust counterparts, robust genetic interaction analysis methods are significantly less popular but are gaining attention fast. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of robust genetic interaction analysis methods, on their methodologies and applications, for both marginal and joint analysis, and for addressing model mis-specification as well as outliers/contaminations in response variables and covariates.
