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

Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are well established as the gold standard and boon for forensic DNA applications. India is well known for its population diversity. Since several population genetic studies have been undertaken, more diverse populations need to be explored. In this study, we first evaluated randomly selected 297 unrelated individuals belonging to the sikh population of Sri Ganganagar Rajasthan through 24 autosomal STR loci included in the Ingenomics™ AutoProfiler STR Kit. A wide range of allelic diversity was observed, with a total effective allele count of 6-41 among all the studied loci. Allele 8 of the TPOX locus was the most frequent allele in the studied population, with a value of 0.444. Locus SE33 was found to be the most useful locus in the studied set of markers for the studied population, with the highest number of effective alleles (Ne = 41), highest value of power of discrimination (PD = 0.991), polymorphic information content (PIC = 17.82), typical paternity indexTPI = 6.75), power of exclusion (PE = 0.849), highest number of heterozygotes (92.59%), lowest value of matching probability (pm = 0.009) and lowest number of homozygotes (741%). All the tested loci were useful together with the highest value of the combined power of discrimination (CPD = 1), the combined power of exclusion (CPE = 1), the combined paternity index (CPI = 1.37 × 10
