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

Identification of genetic variants associated with complex traits is a critical step for improving plant resistance and breeding. Although the majority of existing methods for variants detection have good predictive performance in the average case, they can not precisely identify the variants present in a small number of target genes. In this paper, we propose a weighted sparse group lasso (WSGL) method to select both common and low-frequency variants in groups. Under the biologically realistic assumption that complex traits are influenced by a few single loci in a small number of genes, our method involves a sparse group lasso approach to simultaneously select associated groups along with the loci within each group. To increase the probability of selecting out low-frequency variants, biological prior information is introduced in the model by re-weighting lasso regularization based on weights calculated from input data. Experimental results from both simulation and real data of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with
