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

In general, using additional genetic markers can greatly improve the system power and accuracy of complex kinship identification. In this study, we employed the FGID Forensic Four-in-one DNA typing kit on the DNBSEQ-G99RS platform to gather sequence information for 66 autosomal STRs (A-STRs) and 132 autosomal SNPs (A-SNPs) of 24 pairs of second-degree relatives (13 grandparent-grandchild pairs and 11 uncle/aunt-nephew/niece pairs) from 9 families, along with 100 unrelated Han Chinese individuals. The likelihood ratio (LR) and identical-by-state (IBS) methods were applied to the kinship analysis, respectively. As anticipated, compared to the results using the ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep Kit, the LR values for second-degree relatives improved with the addition of more STR and SNP markers in this study, while LR values for unrelated individuals decreased. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) all exceeded 0.9600 at the cut-off values of t
