Evaluation of the ForenSeq® Kintelligence Kit and the FORensic Capture Enrichment Panel for Unidentified and Missing Persons Casework.

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
Targeted amplicon sequencing (TAS) employs massively parallel sequencing technology to generate profiles comprised of several thousand single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to assist in identifying an individual and generating investigative leads. By targeting a range of SNP classes, profiles are able to be analysed to infer biological sex, externally visible characteristics, biogeographical ancestry, paternal lineage and relationships to other individuals. Such leads can be beneficial for human remains identification where antemortem data is not available for comparison. This study evaluated the performance and requirements of two in-house TAS pipelines: the ForenSeq® Kintelligence Kit and the FORensic Capture Enrichment (FORCE) panel. Both TAS pipelines demonstrated suitability for a range of samples typically encountered in missing persons cases, including buccal, bone, tooth and nail samples. There was a high degree of concordance between the TAS genotypes and the majority of the genetic intelligence produced was consistent with the self-declared information provided by DNA donors. This study highlights the requirements for each pipeline to be considered by forensic laboratories seeking to establish a forensic genomics capability for unidentified and missing persons casework.
