1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

2019 commemorates the 10 year anniversary of the National Academy of Sciences report, "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward," and one valuable way to measure progress in forensic science is through published research. The purpose of this study is to examine where the friction ridge discipline stands with respect to published research. Two time periods were selected (2005-2009 and 2010-2014) and two different methods were used to describe research growth and publication trends in this discipline. A bibliometric review was conducted using an online literature-indexing tool, Web of Science™, as well as an empirical method involving subject matter experts. Both methods showed an increased number of friction ridge articles published in scientific journals over time.
