Craniofacial photographic superimposition: New developments.
Review in Forensic science international. Synergy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Craniofacial superimposition is a technique used in the field of forensic anthropology to assist in the analysis of an unknown skull. The process involves superimposing an image of the recovered skull over an ante mortem image of the suspected individual. In the past two decades, there has been a decline in the application due to the development of molecular analysis as a more precise and accurate identification technique. Despite its decrease in use, there has been significant development in superimposition techniques in the past five years, specifically to standardize procedures. One project, MEPROCS (The New Methodologies and Protocols of Forensic Identification by Craniofacial Superimposition), has attempted to establish a framework for solving the problems of past superimposition techniques. Future researchers should consider integrating information gleaned from clinical practices with the statistical and technical advances of craniofacial superimposition for better facilitating its use in forensic anthropology.
