Forensic integrity of blood alcohol sampling in the emergency department, Part II: Establishing quality goals of turnaround time with Monte Carlo simulation.
Article in Biochemia medica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: In the emergency department (ED), the turnaround time (TAT) for forensic blood alcohol sampling is a critical determinant of legal admissibility. Due to the pharmacokinetics of ethanol, delays in sampling lead to metabolic decay, potentially resulting in pharmacokinetic false negatives (FN Materials and methods: Data were collected from 121 forensic cases at a major metropolitan university hospital in 2025. A Monte Carlo simulation (N = 50,000 iterations) was performed to model the probability of FN Results: The simulation revealed a baseline P(FN Conclusions: Monte Carlo simulation effectively translates pharmacokinetic variables into actionable forensic quality goals. Current ED performance requires process improvement, particularly in the request-transmission phase, to minimize FN
