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

With the cost-effectiveness technology in whole-genome sequencing, more sophisticated statistical methods for testing genetic association with both rare and common variants are being investigated to identify the genetic variation between individuals. Several methods which group variants, also called gene-based approaches, are developed. For instance, advanced extensions of the sequence kernel association test, which is a widely used variant-set test, have been proposed for unrelated samples and extended for family data. Family data have been shown to be powerful when analyzing rare variants. However, most of such methods capture familial relatedness using a random effect component within the generalized linear mixed model framework. Therefore, there is a need to develop unified and flexible methods to study the association between a set of genetic variants and a trait, especially for a binary outcome. Copulas are multivariate distribution functions with uniform margins on the
