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

summarypopSTR2 is an update and augmentation of our previous work 'popSTR: a population-based microsatellite genotyper'. To make genotyping sensitive to inter-sample differences, we supply a kernel to estimate sample-specific slippage rates. For clinical sequencing purposes, a panel of known pathogenic repeat expansions is provided along with a script that scans and flags for manual inspection markers indicative of a pathogenic expansion. Like its predecessor, popSTR2 allows for joint genotyping of samples at a population scale. We now provide a binning method that makes the microsatellite genotypes more amenable to analysis within standard association pipelines and can increase association power. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: https://github.com/DecodeGenetics/popSTR. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
