Skeletal Trauma: An Anthropological Review.
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 7 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
As anthropologists take on a larger role in medical examiner's offices, the incorporation of bone trauma analysis into the autopsy increases. The purpose of this invited review is to summarize recent anthropological literature that exemplifies the value of forensic anthropology in medicolegal death investigation, concentrating in the area of skeletal trauma analysis. Forensic anthropologists have a strong understanding of bone's response to trauma, gained through research and case studies. With this body of knowledge they are able to examine and interpret skeletal injury resulting from blunt, sharp, firearm, and thermal trauma. For example, toolmark class characteristics are recognized through sharp force injury examination, and fracture pattern analysis provides details of the impacting surface area. Interpretation of skeletal trauma allows for reconstruction of events surrounding death, and may inform the manner of death classification.
