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

backgroundGenomic prediction is an advanced method for estimating genetic values, which has been widely accepted for genetic evaluation in animal and disease-risk prediction in human. It estimates genetic values with genome-wide distributed SNPs instead of pedigree. The key step of it is to construct genomic relationship matrix (GRM) via genome-wide SNPs; however, usually the calculation of GRM needs huge computer memory especially when the SNP number and sample size are big, so that sometimes it will become computationally prohibitive even for super computer clusters. We herein developed an integrative algorithm to compute GRM. To avoid calculating GRM for the whole genome, ICGRM freely divides the genome-wide SNPs into several segments and computes the summary statistics related to GRM for each segment that requires quite few computer RAM; then it integrates these summary statistics to produce GRM for whole genome.

resultsIt showed that the computer memory of ICGRM was reduced by 15 times (from 218Gb to 14Gb) after the genome SNPs were split into 5 to 200 parts in terms of the number of SNPs in our simulation dataset, making it computationally feasible for almost all kinds of computer servers. ICGRM is implemented in C/C++ and freely available via https://github.com/mingfang618/CLGRM.

conclusionsICGRM is computationally efficient software to build GRM and can be used for big dataset.
