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

This article reports the allele frequency distribution and statistically calculated the forensic efficiency parameters of 210 unrelated volunteers that belong to a specific tribal group named Santhal living in Bihar, India. 24 specific short tandem repeat (STR) markers are included in this study by using the Ingenomics™ AutoProfiler STR Kit. The Power of discrimination (PD), power of exclusion (PE), observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He) polymorphism information content (PIC), probability of match (PM), typical paternity index (TPI) and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) p-value were calculated. The result shows that the probability of match (PM) values across the loci ranged from 0.012 to 0.186, while the power of discrimination (PD) varied from 0.814 to 0.988. The highest PD values were observed at SE33 (0.988), Penta E (0.983), and FGA (0.962), indicating their strong ability to differentiate individuals within the population. Conversely, loci such as CSF1PO (0.814) and D2S441 (0.844) showed comparatively lower discrimination power. The polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.601 to 0.933, with most loci showing PIC values greater than 0.7, reflecting a high degree of polymorphism. Gene diversity values were also high across the studied loci, ranging from 0.666 to 0.939, further confirming the substantial genetic variability present in the population. The power of exclusion (PE), which is an important parameter for paternity testing, ranged from 0.428 to 0.913, with SE33 and Penta E showing the highest exclusion capacities. The typical paternity index (TPI) values varied from 1.667 to 11.667, again highlighting the strong contribution of highly polymorphic loci such as SE33, Penta E, and D12S391. The combined probability of match (CPM) was 2.41 × 10⁻
