Enhancing the Potential of Microhaplotypes for Forensic Applications: Insights from Afghan and Somali Populations.
Article in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Microhaplotypes (MHs) are a novel class of genetic markers, exhibiting features that position them as an alternative to STRs and SNPs in addressing challenges commonly encountered in forensic investigations. Additionally, MHs can also offer valuable insights for ancestry inference. However, due to the novelty of MHs, extensive research in different global populations is required before implementation in forensic casework and general research. In this study, individuals from Afghanistan and Somalia were characterized with the Ion AmpliSeq™ MH-74 Plex Research Panel previously developed for forensic genetic purposes. A total of 84 Afghan and 89 Somalian samples were sequenced on the Ion GeneStudio™ S5 System. This led to the identification of 32 and 42 single nucleotide variants in the Afghan and Somalian populations, respectively, that were not included in the former MH definitions. Most of the observed variants were considered to be rare occurrences, being observed one or two times in the dataset. The average values of the effective number of alleles (A
