The Role of the Anthropologist in Identification at Two Urban Medical Examiner Offices: New York City and Harris County.
Review in Academic forensic pathology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Two urban jurisdiction medical examiner offices, the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (NYC OCME) and the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences (HCIFS), receive large numbers of unidentified decedents each year. In 2015, the NYC OCME received over 400 decedents whose identities were initially reported as unknown. The HCIFS received 226 unknown decedent cases in 2015. These offices have faced similar challenges in the past when pursuing identification of long-term and otherwise complex identification cases. Within the past decade, the NYC OCME and HCIFS have successfully integrated forensic anthropologists into their offices to supervise routine identifications, direct resolution efforts in complex identification cases, manage disaster victim identification efforts, and organize community outreach events focused on identification. Accordingly, the NYC OCME and HCIFS anthropologists have successfully streamlined identification procedures to make them more efficient for all cases, and increased identifications of completely unknown individuals, effectively discharging the statutory responsibility held by the Chief Medical Examiner for decedent identification.
