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

Blood-containing mixtures often appear in murder and robbery cases, and their identification plays a significant role in solving crimes. In recent years, the co-detection of DNA methylation markers (CpG) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers has been shown to be a promising tool for the identification of semen and its donor. However, similar research on blood stains that are frequently found at crime scenes has not yet been reported. In this study, we employed blood-specific CpG-linked SNP markers (CpG-SNP) for blood-specific genotyping and the linking of blood and its donor. The tissue-specific CpG markers were screened from the literature and further verified by combining bisulfite conversion with amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS) technology. Meanwhile, adjacent SNP markers with a minor allele frequency (MAF) greater than 0.1 were selected within 400 bp upstream and downstream of the CpG markers. SNP genotyping was performed using SNaPshot technology on a capillary electrophoresis (CE) platform. Finally, a multiplex panel, including 19 blood-specific CpG linked to 23 SNP markers, as well as 1 semen-specific CpG, 1 vaginal secretion-specific CpG, and 1 saliva-specific CpG marker, was constructed successfully. The panel showed good tissue specificity and blood stains stored at room temperature for up to nine months and moderately degraded (4 < DI < 10) could be effectively identified. Moreover, it could also be detected when blood content in the mixed stains was as low as 1%. In addition, 15 ng of DNA used for bisulfite conversion was required for obtaining a complete profile. The cumulative discrimination power of the panel among the Han population of northern China could reach 0.999983. This is the first investigation conducted for the simultaneous identification of blood and its donor regardless of other body fluids included in mixed stains. The successful construction of the panel will play a vital role in the comprehensive analysis of blood-containing mixtures in forensic practice.
