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

Statistical methods to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) often neglect the X chromosome and may focus exclusively on autosomal loci. But the X chromosome often requires special treatment: sex and cross-direction covariates may need to be included to avoid spurious evidence of linkage, and the X chromosome may require a separate significance threshold. In multiple-QTL analyses, including the consideration of epistatic interactions, the X chromosome also requires special care and consideration. We extend a penalized likelihood method for multiple-QTL model selection, to appropriately handle the X chromosome. We examine its performance in simulation and by application to a large eQTL data set. The method has been implemented in the package R/qtl.
