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

Gene-environment interactions have important implications for elucidating the genetic basis of complex diseases beyond the joint function of multiple genetic factors and their interactions (or epistasis). In the past, G × E interactions have been mainly conducted within the framework of genetic association studies. The high dimensionality of G × E interactions, due to the complicated form of environmental effects and the presence of a large number of genetic factors including gene expressions and SNPs, has motivated the recent development of penalized variable selection methods for dissecting G × E interactions, which has been ignored in the majority of published reviews on genetic interaction studies. In this article, we first survey existing studies on both gene-environment and gene-gene interactions. Then, after a brief introduction to the variable selection methods, we review penalization and relevant variable selection methods in marginal and joint paradigms, respectively, under a variety of conceptual models. Discussions on strengths and limitations, as well as computational aspects of the variable selection methods tailored for G × E studies, have also been provided.
