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

Estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) remains a major challenge in forensic science. We used attenuated total reflection (ATR)-Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometric modeling for PMI prediction using vitreous humor samples from 20 forensic cases with known PMI (24.8-97.6 h) and 10 with unknown PMI. The intensities of vibrational bands commonly associated with PMI were analyzed, and several peaks in the carbohydrate/phosphate region showed significant correlations with PMI. Principal component analysis revealed time-dependent spectral evolution, with PC1 (48.1%) associated mainly with carbohydrate/phosphate variations and PC2 (37.6%) with protein structural changes. Partial least squares regression with two latent variables achieved a cross-validated RMSE of 15.8 h (R
