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

Genetically diverse inbred strains are frequently used in quantitative trait mapping to identify sequence variants underlying trait variation. Poor locus resolution and high genetic complexity impede variant discovery. As a solution, we explore reduced complexity crosses (RCCs) between phenotypically divergent, yet genetically similar, rodent substrains. RCCs accelerate functional variant discovery via decreasing the number of segregating variants by orders of magnitude. The simplified genetic architecture of RCCs often permit immediate identification of causal variants or rapid fine-mapping of broad loci to smaller intervals. Whole-genome sequences of substrains make RCCs possible by supporting the development of array- and targeted sequencing-based genotyping platforms, coupled with rapid genome editing for variant validation. In summary, RCCs enhance discovery-based genetics of complex traits.
