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

Forensic entomology has long been employed to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI) by studying the ecological succession of necrophagous insects on decomposing remains. However, the mechanisms underlying species-specific attraction to decaying tissues, particularly in the early stages of decomposition, remain poorly understood. This study presents the first integrative investigation that bridges ecological, developmental, and molecular frameworks to explain dipteran attraction to decomposing remains and their potential application in biomedical detection. Over a 12-day semifield trial, we systematically documented the colonization dynamics and developmental timelines of three forensic indicator species
