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

Drowning diagnosis and postmortem submersion interval (PMSI) estimation are still major challenges in forensic practice. Our recent studies provided evidence that microbiota successions in multiple organs, including intestine, liver, and brain, were valuable indicators for PMSI estimation. Meanwhile, microbiota in the lung from corpses submerged for 3 days presented obvious difference between drowning and postmortem submersion. However, gaps exist in our understanding of how long this difference lasts and how the decomposer microbial community in the lung changes with progression of decomposition. Here, we characterized the postmortem microbiota in the lung of mice submerged for 0 to 14 days, which were drowned or sacrificed by CO
