Brief Survey on Machine Learning in Epistasis.
Review in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In biology, the term "epistasis" indicates the effect of the interaction of a gene with another gene. A gene can interact with an independently sorted gene, located far away on the chromosome or on an entirely different chromosome, and this interaction can have a strong effect on the function of the two genes. These changes then can alter the consequences of the biological processes, influencing the organism's phenotype. Machine learning is an area of computer science that develops statistical methods able to recognize patterns from data. A typical machine learning algorithm consists of a training phase, where the model learns to recognize specific trends in the data, and a test phase, where the trained model applies its learned intelligence to recognize trends in external data. Scientists have applied machine learning to epistasis problems multiple times, especially to identify gene-gene interactions from genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. In this brief survey, we report and describe the main scientific articles published in data mining and epistasis. Our article confirms the effectiveness of machine learning in this genetics subfield.
