Detection of Oral Fluid Stains on Fabric via Solution Extraction Combined with Deep Ultraviolet Raman Spectroscopy.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
DNA phenotyping plays a central role in modern practical forensics, yet an overwhelming amount of evidence creates significant backlogs in all major crime laboratories. A fast nondestructive test of a potential biological stain prior to DNA phenotyping should reduce the number of irrelevant samples for the analysis and increase the efficiency of the overall process. Evidence items recovered from the crime scene can often include body fluid traces, such as oral fluid (OF). This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the effectiveness of Deep-UV Raman spectroscopy in identifying OF stains on substrates such as cotton, polyester, and blue denim, commonly encountered in forensic investigations. Through spectral interpretation and statistical analysis, this study compares Raman spectra from OF extracted from substrates with pure OF spectra. Additionally, comparative analysis with near-infrared (NIR) Raman spectroscopy to deep-UV Raman spectroscopy was performed. Distinct advantages of deep-UV Raman spectroscopy were determined, including reduced sample preparation requirements and the absence of fluorescence background, enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio, and simplified data preprocessing. Using statistical analysis methods like principal component analysis and partial least-squares discriminate analysis, differentiation between OF and non-OF samples was possible. Overall, this study underscores the versatility and potential of deep-UV Raman spectroscopy as a valuable tool in forensic science.
