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

In genome-wide association studies, detecting high-order epistasis is important for analyzing the occurrence of complex human diseases and explaining missing heritability. However, there are various challenges in the actual high-order epistasis detection process due to the large amount of data, "small sample size problem", diversity of disease models, etc. This paper proposes a multi-objective genetic algorithm (EpiMOGA) for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) epistasis detection. The K2 score based on the Bayesian network criterion and the Gini index of the diversity of the binary classification problem were used to guide the search process of the genetic algorithm. Experiments were performed on 26 simulated datasets of different models and a real Alzheimer's disease dataset. The results indicated that EpiMOGA was obviously superior to other related and competitive methods in both detection efficiency and accuracy, especially for small-sample-size datasets, and the performance of EpiMOGA remained stable across datasets of different disease models. At the same time, a number of SNP loci and 2-order epistasis associated with Alzheimer's disease were identified by the EpiMOGA method, indicating that this method is capable of identifying high-order epistasis from genome-wide data and can be applied in the study of complex diseases.
