Autopsy-based evaluation of skeletonised human remains: A long-term Indian study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. 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
Skeletonized remains pose unique forensic identification challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings where concealment attempts complicate medicolegal investigation. This retrospective descriptive study analyzed 19 skeletonized autopsy cases, assessing gender/age via anthropological methods, PMI from decomposition stage, cause/manner of death from family/police/post-mortem records. Four cases (21%) revealed deliberate concealment through cremation/burial to evade detection, highlighting disposal challenges in Indian contexts. Conventional anthropological techniques proved feasible despite resource constraints, through PMI estimation remained imprecise without advanced tools. Thus, we document patterns of skeletonized cases in India, highlighting infrastructure gaps, documentation needs and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve optimal medicolegal outcomes.
