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

Based on case studies, in this chapter we discuss the extent to which the number and identity of quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are affected by curation and analysis of phenotypic data. The chapter demonstrates through examples the impact of (1) cleaning of outliers, and of (2) the choice of statistical method for estimating genotypic mean values of phenotypic inputs in GWAS. No cleaning of outliers resulted in the highest number of dubious QTL, especially at loci with highly unbalanced allelic frequencies. A trade-off was identified between the risk of false positives and the risk of missing interesting, yet rare alleles. The choice of the statistical method to estimate genotypic mean values also affected the output of GWAS analysis, with reduced QTL overlap between methods. Using mixed models that capture spatial trends, among other features, increased the narrow-sense heritability of traits, the number of identified QTL and the overall power of GWAS analysis. Cleaning and choosing robust statistical models for estimating genotypic mean values should be included in GWAS pipelines to decrease both false positive and false negative rates of QTL detection.
