Advancing estimation of chronological age by utilizing available evidence based on two radiographical methods.

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
This paper describes a strategy for estimating chronological age of individuals based on age indicators of X-ray of the hand and the third molar tooth. The great majority of studies in the field provide group-wise data of different formats, which makes them difficult to compare and utilize in a model. In this paper, we have provided a framework to utilize different types of data formats to build a common model for estimating chronological age. We used transition analysis to describe the relationship between the age indicators and chronological age. Further, likelihood ratio weight of evidence and posterior distribution of chronological age were used to model the distribution of chronological age given the observed age indicators. Being able to utilize such a large amount of data, with different data formats, from different studies, as presented in this paper improves previous age estimation methods.
