Testing the informativeness of Y-STR and mitochondrial DNA control region markers in an attempt to predict ancestry of World War II victims from Slovenian mass grave.

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
Identification of human remains is a challenge in forensic genetics without relatives or personal items available. In Slovenia, a Konfin II mass grave from the Second World War (WWII) was found, containing skeletal remains of 65 victims. The archival documents detailing victims' information describe 45 persons of which 33 could be considered Germanic and 12 Slavic. This study aims to check for concordance between the victim list and actual victims found by using uniparental markers to differentiate between Slavic and non-Slavic origin by attempting to infer ancestry by analyzing the control region (CR) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosomal STRs. Diaphyses of femurs were used as a DNA source. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology was used for mtDNA- namely HID Ion Chef™ Instrument, Precision ID mtDNA Control Region Panel, and Ion GeneStudio™ S5 System. For the Y-chromosome, PowerPlex
