Expanding DNA database effectiveness.
Article in Forensic science international. Synergy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
DNA databases effectively develop investigative leads, with database size being directly proportional to increased chances of solving crimes as demonstrated by a business case including a universal STR database example. DNA database size can be expanded physically by increasing the number and type of qualifying offenses, adding arrestees, or moving towards a universal database. The theoretical size of a DNA database can also be increased scientifically by using the inherent nature of DNA sharing by biologically related individuals by using an indirect matching strategy including Partial Matching, Familial Searching, and Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG). A new strategy is introduced using areas of shared DNA as a search key to locate potential relatives for further kinship evaluation. New search key strategies include Y-STR, mtDNA, and X Chromosome searching to locate potential relatives, coupled with kinship and genetic genealogical research, as well as expanded use of unidentified human remains (UHRs).
