Review in The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Forensic DNA typing has been widely accepted in the courts all over the world. This is because DNA profiling is a very powerful tool to identify individuals on the basis of their unique genetic makeup. DNA evidence is capable of not only identifying the presence of specific biospecimens in a crime scene, but it is also used to exonerate suspects who are innocent of a crime. Technological advancements in DNA profiling, including the development of validated kits and statistical methods have made this tool to be more precise in forensic investigations. Therefore, validated combined DNA index system (CODIS) short tandem repeats (STRs) kits which require very small amount of DNA, coupled with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the statistical strengths are used routinely to identify human remains, establish paternity or to match suspected crime scene biospecimens. The road to modern DNA profiling has been long, and it has taken scientists decades of work and fine tuning to develop highly accurate testing and analyses that are used today. This review will discuss the various DNA polymorphisms and their utility in human identity testing.
