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

Noncoding DNA contains gene regulatory elements that alter gene expression, and the function of these elements can be modified by genetic variation. Massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) enable high-throughput identification and characterization of functional genetic variants, but the statistical methods to identify allelic effects in MPRA data have not been fully developed. In this study, we demonstrate how the baseline allelic imbalance in MPRA libraries can produce biased results, and we propose a novel, nonparametric, adaptive testing method that is robust to this bias. We compare the performance of this method with other commonly used methods, and we demonstrate that our novel adaptive method controls Type I error in a wide range of scenarios while maintaining excellent power. We have implemented these tests along with routines for simulating MPRA data in the Analysis Toolset for MPRA (@MPRA), an R package for the design and analyses of MPRA experiments. It is publicly available at http://github.com/redaq/atMPRA.
