Usefulness of the Sauvegrain Method of Bone Age Assessment in Indian Children.

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
introductionBone age estimation is very useful in children undergoing epiphysiodesis or guided growth surgery especially during the years of accelerated growth. It may be noted that no data are available on bone age estimation for Indian children of this age group. Sauvegrain (French) method is a very useful and simple method for bone age assessment during the years of accelerated growth. We decided to check the usefulness and the accuracy of the Sauvegrain method in Indian children. MATERIALS AND
methodsA team of two pediatric orthopaedic surgeons and a radiologist scored elbow X-rays of 80 healthy children (40 boys and 40 girls), using the Sauvegrain method twice. Interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility of the Sauvegrain scoring were assessed.
resultsThere was a very strong correlation between all observers in both rounds (
conclusionThe Sauvegrain method of bone age assessment described for French children was found to be useful in estimating bone age in Indian children. It is especially helpful in the clinical practice for detecting mismatch between the chronological and the radiological age before undertaking guided growth or epiphysiodesis.
