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

Motivated by a genome-wide association study to discover risk variants for the progression of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), we develop a computationally efficient copula-based score test, in which the dependence between bivariate progression times is taken into account. Specifically, a two-step estimation approach with numerical derivatives to approximate the score function and observed information matrix is proposed. Both parametric and weakly parametric marginal distributions under the proportional hazards assumption are considered. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the Type I error control and power performance of the proposed method. Finally, we apply our method to a large randomized trial data, the Age-related Eye Disease Study, to identify susceptible risk variants for AMD progression. The top variants identified on Chromosome 10 show significantly differential progression profiles for different genetic groups, which are critical in characterizing and predicting the risk of progression-to-late-AMD for patients with mild to moderate AMD.
