The relationship of mandibular radiomorphometric indices to skeletal age, chronological age and skeletal malocclusion type.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe present study was performed with the following aims: (1) to assess the relationship between skeletal age, measured using the cervical vertebral maturity (CVM) method, and chronological age; (2) to determine the correlation of skeletal and chronological age to the cortical thickness of the lower border of the mandible using the linear radiomorphometric; and (3) to explore the relationship between these indices and skeletal malocclusion type. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe data were collected from the records of 180 patients, including 57 males (31.7%) and 123 females (68.3%). The data were based on the panoramic and lateral cephalograms of each patient. The CVM stages were determined on the basis of the patients' lateral cephalograms. Three radiomorphometric indices were measured: AI, MI and GI. The patients were divided up into three groups of skeletal malocclusion: Class I, II, and III. For all the tests, statistical significance was set at
resultsThe relationship between chronological age and skeletal age was 0.496. Furthermore, with an increase in chronological and skeletal age, the cortical thickness of the lower border of the mandible and consequently the radiomorphometric indices increase, except for the GI (
conclusionsAI and MI were found to increase significantly with increasing age, so the assessment of mandibular radiomorphometric indices could be clinically useful in estimating of the growth and maturation of the mandible.
