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

Runs of Homozygosity (RoHs) are popular among geneticists as the footprint of demographic processes, evolutionary forces and inbreeding in shaping our genome, and are known to confer risk of Mendelian and complex diseases. Notwithstanding growing interest in their study, there is unmet need for reliable and rapid methods for genomic analyses in large data sets. AUDACITY is a tool integrating novel RoH detection algorithm and autozygosity prediction score for prioritization of mutation-surrounding regions. It processes data in VCF file format, and outperforms existing methods in identifying RoHs of any size. Simulations and analysis of real exomes/genomes show its potential to foster future RoH studies in medical and population genomics.
