Set-based genetic association and interaction tests for survival outcomes based on weighted V statistics.
Article in Genetic epidemiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
With advancements in high-throughout technologies, studies have been conducted to investigate the role of massive genetic variants in human diseases. While set-based tests have been developed for binary and continuous disease outcomes, there are few computationally efficient set-based tests available for time-to-event outcomes. To facilitate the genetic association and interaction analyses of time-to-event outcomes, We develop a suite of multivariant tests based on weighted V statistics with or without considering potential genetic heterogeneity. In addition to the computation efficiency and nice asymptotic properties, all the new tests can deal with left truncation and competing risks in the survival data, and adjust for covariates. Simulation studies show that the new tests run faster, are more accurate in small samples, and account for confounding effect better than the existing multivariant survival tests. When the genetic effect is heterogeneous across individuals/subpopulations, the association test considering genetic heterogeneity is more powerful than the existing tests that do not account for genetic heterogeneity. Using the new methods, we perform a genome-wide association analysis of the genotype and age-to-Alzheimer's data from the Rush Memory and Aging Project and the Religious Orders Study. The analysis identifies two genes, APOE and APOC1, associated with age to Alzheimer's disease onset.
