'Shift' Adaptation and a New Croatian Standard for Haavikko Developmental Stages' Timing.
Article in Acta stomatologica Croatica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Accurate age estimation is an integral part of the identification process. Although used infrequently when compared to more established methods, the Haavikko method can be used in cases where other dental age estimation methods have proven ineffective.The aim of this study was to adapt the Haavikko method as a means of improving age estimation on a representative sample of Croatian children and to establish an applicable standard for the Haavikko developmental stages. To achieve this objective, digital, standardized orthopantomograms of children aged 5 to 16 were collected in four Croatian cities in 1997. Drawing upon a previously published study of the Croatian population, a simple adaptation named 'shift' was introduced to the Haavikko method by adding the average difference between chronological and dental age to the estimated dental age. Square deviations were used to compare the results of the original Haavikko method with the 'shift' adaptation. Accuracy of age estimation was presented as the percentage of correct estimations within intervals of ±0.5 years, ±1 year, ±1.5 years and ±2 years. The 'shift' adaptation was tested through simulation to assure population applicability. The average age for every stage of each permanent tooth was then calculated to provide Croatian specific tables for the Haavikko method. The 'shift' adaptation significantly improved age estimation accuracy among boys and girls in all age groups. Simulation confirmed the representativity of the sample and its population applicability. The Croatian specific tables comprise a standard when estimating age using the Haavikko method among Croatian children.
