Comparing third molar root development staging in panoramic radiography, extracted teeth, and cone beam computed tomography.

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 study aimed at performing and comparing third molar development staging in extracted teeth (EX), panoramic radiography (PAN), and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Extracted third molars (n = 158, 95 maxillary, 63 mandibular) from 102 patients (36 males, 66 females) having at least one preoperative PAN and one CBCT were studied. Third molar development staging was performed in PAN, EX, and CBCT using Gleiser et al. (1955) technique modified by Köhler et al (1994). A polytomous logistic regression model was used to compare the staging performed in EX and CBCT with the gold standard staging in PAN. The pair-wise stage comparisons between third molar modalities revealed 63.3% equal staging. In all other comparisons, a maximum difference of one stage was detected. No statistically significant differences between the three staging modalities were detected (p = 0.26). The comparison between EX and PAN staging revealed higher similarity (p = 0.98 in stages 5-10) than the comparison between CBCT and PAN staging (p = 0.81 in stages 5, 7, and 9, and p = 0.80 in stages 6, 8, and 10). The studied third molar staging technique originally designed in PAN can be applied for third molar staging EX and in CBCT.
