Comparison of Gender Determination from Dental Pulp and Dentin after Exposure to Various Environmental Conditions: A Polymerase Chain Reaction-based SRY Gene Study.

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
purposeSex determination becomes the first priority by a forensic investigator in the process of identification of bodies mutilated beyond recognition due to mass disasters. Sex-determining region Y (SRY) gene is used as a sex-typing marker as the results are said to be 100% accurate. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted to rule out the possibility of the presence of SRY gene in tooth pulp and dentin after being exposed to various environments. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty extracted teeth of known gender were taken, of which ten were male and ten were female. The tooth samples were subjected to various environmental conditions for 60 days.
resultsAmong the total twenty samples, DNA isolation was done from all the samples of pulp and dentin. Gender determination using SRY gene was correct in all the samples of the pulp, and no interpretation of SRY was possible from the dentin though the DNA was isolated.
conclusionThe present study has found DNA retrieval can be done from human teeth irrespective of the storage time and environmental conditions for forensic caseworks and SRY gene to be a reliable biomarker for sex determination from the pulp tissue of teeth.
