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

backgroundThe ubiquity of pedigrees in many scientific areas calls for versatile and user-friendly software. Previously published online pedigree tools have limited support for complex pedigrees and do not provide analysis of relatedness between pedigree members.

resultsWe introduce QuickPed, a web application for interactive pedigree creation and analysis. It supports complex inbreeding and comes with a rich built-in library of common and interesting pedigrees. The program calculates all standard coefficients of relatedness, including inbreeding, kinship and identity coefficients, and offers specialised plots for visualising relatedness. It also implements a novel algorithm for describing pairwise relationships in words.

conclusionQuickPed is a user-friendly pedigree tool aimed at researchers, case workers and teachers. It contains a number of features not found in other similar tools, and represents a significant addition to the body of pedigree software by making advanced relatedness analyses available for non-bioinformaticians.
