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

The epistatic interactions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are considered to be an important factor in determining the susceptibility of individuals to complex diseases. Although many methods have been proposed to detect such interactions, the development of detection algorithm is still ongoing due to the computational burden in large-scale association studies. In this paper, to deal with the intensive computing problem of detecting epistatic interactions in large-scale datasets, a self-adjusting ant colony optimization based on information entropy (IEACO) is proposed. The algorithm can automatically self-adjust the path selection strategy according to the real-time information entropy. The performance of IEACO is compared with that of ant colony optimization (ACO), AntEpiSeeker, AntMiner, and epiACO on a set of simulated datasets and a real genome-wide dataset. The results of extensive experiments show that the proposed method is superior to the other methods.
