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

Mixed biological stains are commonly encountered biological samples in forensic investigation. They are often challenging particularly when containing contributors of the same tissue type, such as mixed bloodstains. Here, we described a novel genetic marker for the separation of two-individual mixed bloodstain: the human neutrophil antigen (HNA), specifically, the HNA-1 system. HNA-1a and HNA-1b exhibit the high polymorphism across diverse populations. Potential for practical applicability of these markers in mixed blood separation was evaluated through fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and laser capture microdissection (LCM) techniques. The results found that flow cytometry based on HNA-1a and HNA-1b fluorescent antibody successfully separated minor contributors from mixed samples at ratios as low as 1:16 and 1:32, respectively. Furthermore, LCM enabled complete single-source STR profiling from the fewer cells, indicating promising application in the separation of mixed bloodstains. Collectively, this study provides a new usable genetic marker, which may significantly enhance the effectiveness of antigen-based separation strategies for the identification of mixed blood samples.
