Toward better AFIS practice and process in the forensic fingerprint environment.
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. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) are used in forensic operational environments worldwide. Traditionally, these systems are search systems only and have limited workflow to support forensic processes in recommended best-practice approaches. This paper addresses this issue by presenting best practice approaches and processes for AFIS in forensic environments. The discussion is divided into three parts. First, we identify three factors that can impact the performance of AFIS in forensic environments. Second, we discuss the search process and highlight how the National Police of the Netherlands (NPN) strategies to mitigate bias and error in their AFIS workflow. Finally, we briefly discuss other considerations for establishing best-practice. We offer resources for biometric managers and users, providing an overview of the best AFIS practices in forensic environments. We propose the NPN system as a benchmark and aim to foster discussions among AFIS communities to enhance AFIS practices and processes in forensic fingerprint environments.
