Minor migrants' age estimation: Comparison of two dental 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
In case of minor migrants, absence of valid identification documents that clearly define age is a critical issue, because without these data the child cannot enjoy the rights provided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Differentiation between minors and adults is fundamental when age is disputed in human identification, asylum seeking, criminal liability, and child abuse fields. Few indications are available about qualitative/statistical agreement of different age estimation methods. Ages of 301 individuals were estimated through two dental methods in order to: determine quantitative and statistical agreements in legal age definition; identify practical recommendations. The study pointed out discrepancy between the two methods in 7/301 cases. From a statistical point of view, this finding corresponded to an almost perfect agreement. Thus, authors suggested that the two methods can be alternately used for legal age assessment, but operators should use both methods when the estimated age is 18.5 years.
