Hydrocarbon forensic chemistry: exploring multiple fronts-a minireview.
Article in Forensic sciences research, 2025. 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
Hydrocarbons are a significant class of compounds encountered in various subareas of forensic chemistry, including transportation fuels, fire debris, explosives, post-explosion residues, environmental samples, drugs of abuse, and toxicology. This article provides an overview of the diverse contexts in which hydrocarbon analysis plays a crucial role in forensic investigations, underscoring its importance for forensic chemistry. This is achieved by drawing on the experience accumulated from analyses conducted in these various contexts at the National Institute of Criminalistics of the Brazilian Federal Police, as well as insights gained from a comprehensive literature review. Each topic is briefly discussed separately, focusing on the significance of hydrocarbon analysis and its contribution to solving investigations across different contexts. This review offers a unique perspective that has not been addressed in this manner by the specialized literature, thereby contributing to the forensic community's understanding of the importance of hydrocarbons in various contexts within forensic chemistry.
