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

summaryecholocatoR integrates a diverse suite of statistical and functional fine-mapping tools to identify, test enrichment in, and visualize high-confidence causal consensus variants in any phenotype. It requires minimal input from users (a summary statistics file), can be run in a single R function, and provides extensive access to relevant datasets (e.g. reference linkage disequilibrium panels, quantitative trait loci, genome-wide annotations, cell-type-specific epigenomics), thereby enabling rapid, robust and scalable end-to-end fine-mapping investigations. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: echolocatoR is an open-source R package available through GitHub under the GNU General Public License (Version 3) license: https://github.com/RajLabMSSM/echolocatoR. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
