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

Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation has always been a major challenge in forensic science. Conventional methods for predicting PMI are based on postmortem phenomena, metabolite or biochemical changes, and insect succession. Because postmortem microbial succession follows a certain temporal regularity, the microbiome has been shown to be a potentially effective tool for PMI estimation in the last decade. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies shed new lights on forensic medicine through analyzing big data, establishing prediction models, assisting in decision-making, etc. With the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and AI techniques, it is possible for forensic practitioners to improve the dataset of microbial communities and obtain detailed information on the inventory of specific ecosystems, quantifications of community diversity, descriptions of their ecological function, and even their application in legal medicine. This review describes the postmortem succession of the microbiome in cadavers and their surroundings, and summarizes the application, advantages, problems, and future strategies of AI-based microbiome analysis for PMI estimation.
