A crime case involving a mixture of three individuals solved using a sample from the daughter of the person of interest.

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
A forensic genetics laboratory may well receive requests that are out of the ordinary and pose challenges like the one presented in this case. A mixture from three individuals was analysed from a crime scene. Reference samples were obtained from two individuals. The Person Of Interest (POI) was not available, only a putative daughter. The analysis of Y and X-STR markers indicated that the contributors to the bloodstain mixture were two males and one female. The hypotheses for the calculation of the Likelihood Ratio (LR) were specified and evaluated using autosomal STR markers. The calculations were done using the open and freely available programs relMix and EuroFormix. The software relMix can deal with arbitrary family relationships between contributors while EuroFormix only accommodates pairwise relationships. In this case both programs were applicable. EuroFormix models peak heights resulting in higher LR, as expected. Ultimately, results from both programs identified the POI, leading to the resolution of the case.
