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

The quality, statistical power, and resolution of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are largely dependent on the comprehensiveness of genotypic data. Over the last few years, despite the constant decrease in the price of sequencing, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of association panels comprising a large number of samples remains cost-prohibitive. Therefore, most GWAS populations are still genotyped using low-coverage genotyping methods resulting in incomplete datasets. Imputation of untyped variants is a powerful method to maximize the number of SNPs identified in study samples, it increases the power and resolution of GWAS and allows to integrate genotyping datasets obtained from various sources. Here, we describe the key concepts underlying imputation of untyped variants, including the architecture of reference panels, and review some of the associated challenges and how these can be addressed. We also discuss the need and available methods to rigorously assess the accuracy of imputed data prior to their use in any genetic study.
