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 performance of existing methods for computing inbreeding coefficients-including tabular-based methods, Cholesky decomposition-based methods, and indirect methods-has been limited by either memory usage, pedigree depth, or average half-sib family size. In this note, we present a modified indirect method that efficiently identifies, computes, and stores the necessary elements for computing inbreeding coefficients. The algorithm was tested on pedigrees of 8.6 million Japanese Holsteins born from 1901 to 2023, with an average longest ancestral path number of 17 and 42,120 sires with progenies. Compared to a previous indirect method, the modifications reduced computation time from 103.4 to 7.2 s. When parallelized using 32 threads, the computation completed in 1.1 s. Simulation results suggested that the proposed method is less affected by pedigree depth or family size, making it practical for most livestock populations reproduced via artificial insemination.
