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

purposeForensics, along with the implementation of techniques from nanosciences, has brought about a change in the domain of forensic science and criminal investigation. It has brought about a positive change in the criminal investigation framework by making investigation more efficient and to-the-point.

methodsThis paper reviews the nanotechnology-based techniques that are introduced in forensic science to unravel the mysteries behind crimes as it highlights various kinds of nano-sized particles, nanodevices along with their applications that the forensic experts use to analyze the evidences collected from the crime scenes. Google scholar, PubMed, and Scopus search engines are used to select the related articles to write this review paper.

resultsDNA analysis, fingerprint detection, drug detection, explosive analysis, blood stain analysis, time since death estimation, and analysis of counterfeit documents are some of the sectors in which nanotechnology has made notable contributions.

conclusionAs the paper unfolds, it makes sure that the readers get the taste of both the worlds, and that it helps them grasp the concept and idea behind the techniques used to make a change across the globe.
