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
Improved age estimates may result from combining different age predictors. This study aimed to validate age estimation performances combining the radiographic development of teeth, cervical vertebrae, hand and wrist bones, skull, and mandible. The sampled consisted of 256 individuals aged between 4 and 20 years. Bayes' rule with a multivariate continuation ratio model was applied for the distribution of the dental scores. The additional age information of the skeletal variables was assessed extending the dental model separately and combining the variables. The performances of all models were quantified and compared using mean error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean squared error (RMSE). The best performance resulted combining all variables (ME - 0.04 for F and M; MAE 0.91 for F and 0.95 for M; RMSE 1.14 for F and 1.19 for M). To improve performances and minimize radiation doses, the combination of teeth and hand and wrist bones information is recommended.
