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

The arrangement of markers on the genome can be defined in either physical or linkage terms. While a physical map represents the inter-marker distances in base pairs, a genetic (or linkage) map pictures the recombination rate between pairs of markers. High-resolution genetic maps are key elements for genomic research, such as fine-mapping of quantitative trait loci, but they are also needed for creating and updating chromosome-level assemblies of whole-genome sequences. Based on published results on a large pedigree of German Holstein cattle and newly obtained results with German/Austrian Fleckvieh cattle, we aim at providing a platform that allows users to interactively explore the bovine genetic and physical map. We developed the R Shiny app CLARITY available online at https://nmelzer.shinyapps.io/clarity and as R package at https://github.com/nmelzer/CLARITY that provides access to the genetic maps built on the Illumina Bovine SNP50 genotyping array with markers ordered according to the physical coordinates of the most recent bovine genome assembly ARS-UCD1.2. The user is able to interconnect the physical and genetic map for a whole chromosome or a specific chromosomal region and can inspect a landscape of recombination hotspots. Moreover, the user can investigate which of the frequently used genetic-map functions locally fits best. We further provide auxiliary information about markers being putatively misplaced in the ARS-UCD1.2 release. The corresponding output tables and figures can be downloaded in various formats. By ongoing data integration from different breeds, the app also facilitates comparison of different genome features, providing a valuable tool for education and research purposes.
