Evaluation of four criteria in assessing third molar maturity for age estimation in Koreans.

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
Third molar maturity is one of the major criteria for estimating human age. This study aimed to determine the most suitable third molar maturity criteria for age estimation in Koreans. The correlation between chronological age and the Demirjian, Köhler, Liversidge, and Thevissen criteria was evaluated using 900 panoramic radiographs of patients aged 15-23 years. The four criteria were applied separately to measure third molar maturity on the same radiograph. The concordance rates between third molars within the same jaw and between jaws were calculated and tested using a paired
