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

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) remain a popular method for identifying novel genetic associations with human phenotypes and have provided many insights into the etiology of many diseases. However, GWAS provide limited support for how a genetic association might contribute to disease due to inherent limitations, such as linkage disequilibrium. As such, many methods that operate on GWAS summary statistics have been developed to generate evidence for functional pathways or for variants of interest, but they require defining the genomic region bounds for loci of interest. At present, there are limited methods for determining these bounds in a rigorous, reproducible way. We present a novel statistical method, Statistical Analysis for Bayesian Estimation of Regions (SABER), that uses Bayesian Gaussian mixture models to reproducibly generate ratios that quantify whether particular genomic positions represent the bounds of loci of interest and can be used to delineate genomic regions for downstream analyses.
