Reducing computational demands of restricted maximum likelihood estimation with genomic relationship matrices.
Article in Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Restricted maximum likelihood estimation of genetic parameters accounting for genomic relationships has been reported to impose computational burdens which typically are many times higher than those of corresponding analyses considering pedigree based relationships only. This can be attributed to the dense nature of genomic relationship matrices and their inverses. We outline a reparameterisation of the multivariate linear mixed model to principal components and its effects on the sparsity pattern of the pertaining coefficient matrix in the mixed model equations. Using two data sets we demonstrate that this can dramatically reduce the computing time per iterate of the widely used 'average information' algorithm for restricted maximum likelihood. This is primarily due to the fact that on the principal component scale, the first derivatives of the coefficient matrix with respect to the parameters modelling genetic covariances between traits are independent of the relationship matrix between individuals, i.e. are not afflicted by a multitude of genomic relationships.
