Demonstrating cost-benefit for forensic laboratory resources: Project Resolution.
Article in Forensic science international. Synergy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The mission of forensic laboratories is to maximize the value of evidence. As price and quality are relatively fixed for consumers of forensic analysis, the main measure of service effectiveness is timeliness. Resources have been demonstrated as the means to improve timeliness. However, as the availability of governmental resources is also relatively fixed, to optimize resource distribution, there must be an evaluation as to the most effective allocation. Cost-benefit analysis or determination of the return on investment has been demonstrated as an objective means to compare various competing options as targets for resource deployment. Therefore, a cost-benefit analysis of forensic science will be conducted to evaluate the option of applying additional resources to maximize the value of forensic analysis through optimal timeliness of service. A case study will be provided using historical data to examine the net benefit from forensic investigative leads.
