Do forensic genetic markers disclose more information about us than they should? (A review).
Review in International journal of legal medicine, 2025. 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
The 20 established STRs that make up the CoDIS package must comply with national and international privacy rights and legal policies. Current research reveals that it is possible that certain genetic markers, used in forensic contexts, may show information about other neighboring markers that could reflect certain private characteristics of individuals. Therefore, we will aim to find out, through a literature review, whether there may indeed be associations between some of the STRs alleles established by CoDIS and medical and phenotypic conditions, with the aim of checking whether this problem has a real basis. To carry out this review, a systematic search has been carried out in different databases, as well as a critical evaluation of the articles collected and a synthesis of all the relevant studies. The results generally show that private phenotypic data of the individual can be known from certain STRs established by CoDIS, due to their association with neighboring genes. However, most of the papers state that practically none of the established associations offer proof of causality, but rather a relationship between some STRs and a phenotype.
