The genome profiling method can be applied for species identification of biological materials collected at crime scenes.

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
backgroundVarious biological materials unrelated to humans are found at crime scenes and it is often important to elucidate the origin of these materials. A genetic locus common to several species is conventionally PCR-amplified with universal primers to identify species. However, not all species can be identified using a single locus. In this study, DNA from 13 commonly handled taxa was analyzed to identify species by a genome profiling (GP) method, which involves random PCR and temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.
resultsIn a clustering analysis, we successfully obtained a single cluster for each species.
conclusionThe GP method is cost-effective and does not require advanced techniques and knowledge in molecular biology. The random sampling of the whole genome using multiple primers provides substantial genomic information. Therefore, the method is effective for classifying a wide range of species, including animals, plants, and insects, and is useful for crime scene investigations.
