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
Winthropping is a search method, developed in the UK during the 1970s to locate weapons caches hidden by the IRA, that is based on the searcher placing themselves in the mind of the hider and identifying likely search locations. Although this method has been cited in various fields, there is no clear understanding of Winthropping or how it is applied. Recently a model called 'Keatley's Winthropping' was created to address the location of clandestine burial sites in homicide cases as a tool to assist police, and the authors proposed this as a starting point for discussion and research in this area. This paper reviews key cognitive literature to add to this discussion, introducing some of the cognitive literature on spatial perception, hide and search, site familiarity and emotion in the context of offender hiding behaviour. Three real-world cases are discussed in this context, and suggestions for future research are provided.
