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

backgroundRecent advances in whole-genome sequencing and SNP array technology have led to the generation of a large amount of genotype data. Large volumes of genotype data will require faster and more efficient methods for storing and searching the data. Positional Burrows-Wheeler Transform (PBWT) provides an appropriate data structure for bi-allelic data. With the increasing sample sizes, more multi-allelic sites are expected to be observed. Hence, there is a necessity to handle multi-allelic genotype data.

resultsIn this paper, we introduce a multi-allelic version of the Positional Burrows-Wheeler Transform (mPBWT) based on the bi-allelic version for compression and searching. The time-complexity for constructing the data structure and searching within a panel containing t-allelic sites increases by a factor of t.

conclusionConsidering the small value for the possible alleles t, the time increase for the multi-allelic PBWT will be negligible and comparable to the bi-allelic version of PBWT.
