Age determination of adult individuals by three-dimensional modelling of canines.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Accurate age determination is fundamental in both forensic medicine and anthropology. Many methods that relate dental characteristics to adult age have been proposed, but there is still no simple and reliable method that does not damage the study material. The aim of this work was to propose a relevant and practical technique for determining age in adults that could be used in both living and deceased individuals. The sample was composed of 210 CT scans from individuals aged from 15 to 85 years old, with four healthy canines present in the mouth. The 840 canines were modelled using Mimics® 10.01 software. The pulp volume/total volume ratio ×100 was determined for each tooth. Seven mathematical models, corresponding to all possible real situations, were determined by the weighted least squares method and ranked in order of relative performance. The adequacy of the seven models to the data was very high with the regressions proposed (0.915 < R (2) adjusted < 0.964). Ranked in order of performance, the maxillary model was the most powerful of the seven models for age determination, followed by the 4 canines model, the 13 model and the 23 model.
