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

motivationThe Wright-Fisher diffusion is important in population genetics in modelling the evolution of allele frequencies over time subject to the influence of biological phenomena such as selection, mutation and genetic drift. Simulating the paths of the process is challenging due to the form of the transition density. We present EWF, a robust and efficient sampler which returns exact draws for the diffusion and diffusion bridge processes, accounting for general models of selection including those with frequency dependence.

resultsGiven a configuration of selection, mutation and endpoints, EWF returns draws at the requested sampling times from the law of the corresponding Wright-Fisher process. Output was validated by comparison to approximations of the transition density via the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and QQ plots. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: All softwares are available at https://github.com/JaroSant/EWF. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
