Homicidal strangulation by victim's own artificial hair extensions.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
A 24-year-old woman was strangulated by her husband using his wife's own 60-cm long artificial head hair integrations. During a domestic conflict, she was strangulated while lying in bed in a prone position. Her husband wrapped her hair around her neck and pulled it with one hand while fixing her head with the other hand. Due to the soft and broad nature of the ligature, the neck skin presented scarcely any ligature marks and showed a horizontal pale area in the middle of the neck above which the neck and face were congested; the skin showed extensive petechial haemorrhages. The autopsy revealed no internal injuries except two small haematomas in the soft tissue on each side of the neck. These were located under the pale area of the skin. The larynx and hyoid bone were intact. No natural disease was found. The toxicological analyses showed negative results. This is the first report of a homicidal strangulation by means of the victim's own artificial hair extensions.
