Improving body fluid identification in forensic trace evidence-construction of an immunochromatographic test array to rapidly detect up to five body fluids simultaneously.

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
Body fluid identification is a substantial part of forensic trace analyses. The correct determination of the origin of a biological stain may give valuable information regarding the circumstances of a crime. A simple way to detect a body fluid in a stain is the use of immunochromatographic strip tests. They are easy to use, user-independent, quick, and cheap. Currently, however, it is only possible to analyze one body fluid at a time, requiring the analyst to make previous, possibly subjective, assumptions on the body fluid at hand. Also, identification of mixed body fluids requires the use of several tests, which results in additional sample and time consumption. To combine a simple approach with the possibility to simultaneously detect several body fluids, we constructed a combined immunochromatographic strip test array based on commercially available tests. The array rapidly detects up to five body fluids with a single analysis, and allowing for subsequent DNA extraction from the same material. With this test it was possible to identify the components of a mixture, the test was easily incorporated into standard laboratory work, and its sensitivity and specificity were shown to be comparable to those of conventional strip tests.
