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
Cryptocurrency mixers have played a growing role in facilitating money laundering. This article examines 32 mixer-related court cases to identify criminogenic patterns in offender roles, laundering practices, and enforcement outcomes. Results indicate that mixer-enabled cryptocurrency money laundering is concentrated among a small number of services, with five mixers linked to over $6 billion in illicit funds. Non-custodial mixers processed the majority of total cryptocurrency volume, while centralized mixers transferred most funds tied directly to predicate criminal offenses. Laundering schemes were dominated by Bitcoin and Ether, with altcoins playing ancillary roles. The identified core actor types-overseers, personal users, and enablers-highlight the networked and multi-layered structure of mixer-based laundering. Decentralized services, regulatory arbitrage, and rapid mixer substitution following takedowns contribute to mixer resilience. Reactive enforcement strategies experience limitations. Proactive, internationally coordinated responses to mixer-enabled financial crime are needed.
