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

Rapidly, untreated whole blood undergoes a clotting cascade, making forensic research that investigates "fresh" bloodletting events difficult. In bloodstain pattern analysis research, whole blood treated with anticoagulant is often used to prolong the usability of the blood and allow for transport and experimentation to simulate pattern formation using "fresh" clot-free blood. Anticoagulants bind to clotting components, making them unavailable to participate in coagulation, preventing the formation of clots. Herein, we investigate the spectral implications of anticoagulant addition for time since deposition (TSD) estimation methods, particularly of larger volume bovine blood pools. We characterized the differences in spectral profiles of blood pools with and without a citrate-based anticoagulant (ACD-A) using visible absorbance, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies. Across all methods, notable spectral differences were observed, namely the red-shift in the Soret peak maxima (visible), delayed increase in the 1532 cm
