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

[Abstract] Short tandem repeat (STR) loci within the human genome are extensively utilized in forensic DNA analysis because of their high level of polymorphism. At present, the combined DNA index system (CODIS) STRs are the principal ones adopted in the majority of general-purpose forensic kits. Moreover, non-CODIS STRs can serve as valuable supplementary tools for resolving complex paternity cases, conducting evolutionary studies, and performing population genetics analyses. Along with non-CODIS STRs, unusual DNA profiles have been consistently identified, as observed with CODIS STRs. In this present study, we investigated the allelic distribution and population genetics parameters of the D21S2055 locus in a cohort of 258 unrelated individuals from Fujian Province, China. The locus exhibited significant genetic diversity, with twenty-one distinct alleles, mostly spanning a size range from 16.1 to 38. Notably, a large off-ladder allele, 57.2, which was also included in the findings. The core repeat sequence of this allele was found to be [CTAT]
