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

Jean Pierre Mégnin (1828-1905) was a pathbreaking veterinary physician and entomologist who made fundamental contributions to forensic science. Mégnin, born in 1828, began his career in the military before becoming a veterinarian. He laid the foundation of forensic entomology when he became interested in studying the role of insects in the decomposition of animal and human remains. His scientific contributions to funerary practices included estimating burial time based on insect and mite colonization patterns in cadaverous remains. Furthermore, Mégnin made a significant contribution to veterinary science in the fields of acarology, parasitology, and differential diagnosis of dog breeds. His 1894 work,
