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 applications in phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS), we consider in this paper simultaneous testing of columns of high-dimensional cross-covariance matrices and develop a multiple testing procedure with theoretical guarantees. It is shown that the proposed testing procedure maintains a desired false discovery rate (FDR) and false discovery proportion (FDP) under mild regularity conditions. We also provide results on the magnitudes of the signals that can be detected with high power. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed procedure can be substantially more powerful than existing FDR controlling procedures in the presence of correlation of unknown structure. The proposed multiple testing procedure is applied to a PheWAS of two auto-immune genetic markers using a rheumatoid arthritis patient cohort constructed from the electronic medical records of Partners Healthcare System.
