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

Flies in the family Fanniidae represent an important component of the entomofauna associated with body decomposition and they play an important role in the recycle of the organic matter. Forty species have been reported from the Italian territory but till now only two, Fannia scalaris and Fannia canicularis, have been reported from human cadavers on a larval stage. This paper reports the first finding of a population of Fannia lineata associated with a human cadaver in Southern Italy. The body was in an advanced, partially mummified, state of decomposition with a complex community of insects composed by Diptera (Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Fanniidae, Sphaeroceridae and Phoridae), Coleoptera (Dermestidae, Cleridae and Ptinidae) and Lepidoptera (Tineidae). The puparium of Fannia lineata is described and a key for the identification of the Italian Fannia puparia of forensic interest is provided.
