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

Post-mortem interval (PMI) analysis plays a crucial role in forensic investigations, providing essential insights into the time since death. This study examined histological changes and ribonucleic acid (RNA) quantification across major organs to identify molecular indicators for PMI estimation. Because RNA gradually degrades after death, understanding its stability under different tissue, temperature, and PMI conditions provides valuable forensic insights. We analyzed post-mortem changes in total RNA from the heart, kidney, liver, and lung tissues of Sprague Dawley rats stored at 4 °C and 26 °C. Tissue samples were collected at various PMIs and evaluated histologically for cellular integrity. Total RNA concentration and purity were measured, and complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized for molecular analysis. Expression levels of 5S rRNA,
