Trends in the Forensic Examination of Hair.
Review in International journal of trichology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Hair is one of the most commonly encountered trace evidence of crime scenes. The cases in which it may be found as evidence vary, ranging from those involving exotic and endangered wildlife species, hunting of which has been prohibited to various homicidal and assault cases. Besides homicide, sexual assault, and rape cases, hair is common evidence in poaching and other wildlife-related cases. The forensic examination of hair can help in personal identification (from human hair) and species identification (from nonhuman hair). Conventionally, the hair examination starts with the microscopic examination which is further extended to modern analytical methods such as DNA profiling, neutron activation analysis, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy-electron-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy. However, recent years have observed significant improvement in the sensitivity, reliability, and applicability of these methods. In the present review, a critical analysis of methods of hair examination has been done.
