Adjustment for Genotype Imputation Uncertainty Corrects for Inflated Type I Error in Family-Based Association Testing.
Article in Genetic epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Genotype imputation is a widely-used data augmentation approach that is applied to samples of related and/or unrelated individuals. Association testing may then be carried out on the complete data with commonly-used methods. This approach has typically not accounted for the mix of observed and imputed data, although recent work has noted the potential for introduction of confounding in case-control studies. In the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project family sample we found severe inflation of the test statistics in logistic regression analysis following genotype imputation, even after standard covariate adjustments. Here we dissect sources of this inflation, which is driven by three factors: frequency-dependent bias in imputation-induced allele frequencies, differential measurement error, and differential genotyping rates in cases versus controls that introduces confounding. To address the problem, we propose a statistic, imputation deviance (
