Homicide by drowning.
Review in Forensic science, medicine, and pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this paper we have reviewed the literature regarding homicidal drowning. Homicide of a child by drowning occurs occasionally, but it is much rarer that an adult is murdered in this way. When the victim is a child, there will often be few or no signs of violence due to the difference in size between the assailant and the victim, unlike the evidence of a struggle that is often found in adult victims of homicidal drowning, unless the victim was incapacitated by alcohol, drugs or physical weakness, or was unexpectedly pushed into or dragged under water. The incidence of cases in which the manner of death is undetermined is high in bodies retrieved from water. Therefore, a thorough investigation of such cases is needed.
