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

In contemporary breeding programs, typically genomic best linear unbiased prediction (gBLUP) models are employed to drive decisions on artificial selection. Experiments are performed to obtain responses on the units in the breeding program. Due to restrictions on the size of the experiment, an efficient experimental design must usually be found in order to optimize the training population. Classical exchange-type algorithms from optimal design theory can be employed for this purpose. This article suggests several variants for the gBLUP model and compares them to brute-force approaches from the genomics literature for various design criteria. Particular emphasis is placed on evaluating the computational runtime of algorithms along with their respective efficiencies over different sample sizes. We find that adapting classical algorithms from optimal design of experiments can help to decrease runtime, while maintaining efficiency.
