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

We present a method to infer on joint regression coefficients obtained from marginal regressions using a reference panel. This type of scenario is common in genetic fine-mapping, where the estimated marginal associations are reported in genomewide association studies, and a reference panel is used for inference on the association in a joint regression model. We show that ignoring the uncertainty due to the use of a reference panel instead of the original design matrix can lead to a severe inflation of false discoveries and a lack of replicable findings. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the estimated coefficients in the joint regression model and show how it can be used to produce valid inference. We address two settings: inference within regions that are preselected as well as within regions that are selected based on the same data. By means of real data examples and simulations, we demonstrate the usefulness of our suggested methodology.
