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

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be conducted to systematically analyze the contributions of genetic factors to a wide variety of complex diseases. Nevertheless, existing GWASs have provided highly ethnic specific data. Accordingly, to provide data specific to Taiwan, we established a large-scale genetic database in a single medical institution at the China Medical University Hospital. With current technological limitations, microarray analysis can detect only a limited number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a minor allele frequency of >1%. Nevertheless, imputation represents a useful alternative means of expanding data. In this study, we compared four imputation algorithms in terms of various metrics. We observed that among the compared algorithms, Beagle5.2 achieved the fastest calculation speed, smallest storage space, highest specificity, and highest number of high-quality variants. We obtained 15,277,414 high-quality variants in 175,871 people by using Beagle5.2. In our internal verification process, Beagle5.2 exhibited an accuracy rate of up to 98.75%. We also conducted external verification. Our imputed variants had a 79.91% mapping rate and 90.41% accuracy. These results will be combined with clinical data in future research. We have made the results available for researchers to use in formulating imputation algorithms, in addition to establishing a complete SNP database for GWAS and PRS researchers. We believe that these data can help improve overall medical capabilities, particularly precision medicine, in Taiwan.
