Solving the Arizona search problem by imputation.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An "Arizona search" is an evaluation of the numbers of pairs of profiles in a forensic-genetic database that possess partial or complete genotypic matches; such a search assists in establishing the extent to which a set of loci provides unique identifications. In forensic genetics, however, the potential for performing Arizona searches is constrained by the limited availability of actual forensic profiles for research purposes. Here, we use genotype imputation to circumvent this problem. From a database of genomes, we impute genotypes of forensic short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci from neighboring single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), searching for partial STR matches using the imputed profiles. We compare the distributions of the numbers of partial matches in imputed and actual profiles, finding close agreement. Despite limited potential for performing Arizona searches with actual forensic STR profiles, the questions that such searches seek to answer can be posed with imputation-based Arizona searches in increasingly large SNP databases.
