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

Passive sampling techniques such as sticky traps are recommended for research studies assessing colonisation patterns of forensically important flies. However, there are no standardised protocols for the optimal removal of flies to ensure accurate morphological identification to species level. This study assessed the use of four freely available solvents (mineral oil, vegetable oil, baby oil and an orange-based solvent) in terms of facilitating extraction from sticky traps, and potential effects on subsequent identification of three blow fly species of forensic importance,
