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 GA118-24B Genetic Analyzer (hereafter, "GA118-24B") is an independently developed capillary electrophoresis instrument. In the present research, we designed a series of validation experiments to test its performance at detecting DNA fragments compared to the Applied Biosystems 3500 Genetic Analyzer (hereafter, "3500"). Three commercially available autosomal short tandem repeat multiplex kits were used in this validation. The results showed that GA118-24B had acceptable spectral calibration for three kits. The results of accuracy and concordance studies were also satisfactory. GA118-24B showed excellent precision, with a standard deviation of less than 0.1 bp. Sensitivity and mixture studies indicated that GA118-24B could detect low-template DNA and complex mixtures as well as the results generated by 3500 in parallel experiments. Based on the experimental results, we set specific analytical and stochastic thresholds. Besides, GA118-24B showed superiority than 3500 within certain size ranges in the resolution study. Instead of conventional commercial multiplex kits, GA118-24B performed stably on a self-developed eight-dye multiplex system, which were not performed on 3500 Genetic Analyzer. We compared our validation results with those of previous research and found our results to be convincing. Overall, we conclude that GA118-24B is a stable and reliable genetic analyzer for forensic DNA identification.
