National Technology Validation and Implementation Collaborative (NTVIC) policies and procedures for Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG).
Article in Forensic science international. Synergy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In 2022, the National Technology Validation and Implementation Collaborative (NTVIC) was established. Its mission is to collaborate across the US on validation, method development, and implementation. The NTVIC is comprised of 13 federal, state and local government crime laboratory leaders, joined by university researchers, and private technology and research companies. One of the NTVIC's first initiatives was to generate this draft policy document. This document provides guidelines and considerations for crime laboratories and investigative agencies exploring the establishment of a forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) program. While each jurisdiction is responsible for its own program policy, sharing minimum standards and best practices to optimize resources, promote technology implementation and elevate quality is a goal of the NTVIC.
