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

Genotype imputation, the inference of missing genotypes using a reference set of population haplotypes, is a cost-effective tool for improving the quality and quantity of genetic datasets. Imputation is usually applied to large and well-characterised datasets of humans and livestock, even though it could also benefit smaller natural populations. This study aims to understand the best practices and effectiveness of imputation with a small reference panel for species with low genetic diversity, using a case study of a population of the hihi/stitchbird (Notiomystis cincta). We used a leave-one-out method to test imputation on 30 high-coverage hihi individuals where SNPs were masked before being imputed with Beagle v5.4. Imputation accuracy was measured using r
