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

In August 2024, a human skeleton was found in a forested area in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The human remains were partially buried and hidden by vegetation. Analysis of the anthropological profile was consistent with that of an adult female. The skeleton showed numerous taphonomic alterations caused by the termite Nasutitermes itapocuensis (Holmgren, 1910) and a lamellar mass resembling a nest was found within the cranial cavity. Bone degradation caused by the termite, combined with other changes observed in the skull, allowed us to estimate the most probable post-mortem interval (PMI) to be up to 3 years.
