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

Human immunodeficiency virus (hereafter, "HIV") and hepatitis B virus (hereafter, "HBV") are prevalent infectious pathogens. In many countries, criminal law applies to those who intentionally transmit or expose others to these two dangerous pathogens. Viral infection is a significant characteristic in forensic investigations, and there are few reports on the simultaneous detection of DNA viruses, RNA viruses, and human short tandem repeats (hereafter, "STRs") in forensic laboratories. We developed a novel multiplex assay system that simultaneously identifies HIV-1, HBV, and STRs via capillary electrophoresis (hereafter, "CE"). This system demonstrated high species specificity, detecting HIV-1 RNA and HBV DNA at concentrations as low as 10 IU/mL. Full STR profiles were generated using 62.5 pg of template DNA. The combined power of discrimination of the 16 STR loci met the requirements of forensic applications. The comprehensive validation results confirmed that the multiplex assay system, which can provide qualitative results for three types of targets in a single tube via a one-step amplification process, is valuable for forensic applications. This system can offer additional individual characteristics (viral infections) for forensic DNA analysis, thus improving the efficiency of forensic investigations.
