Assessment of age using physiological methods: dentin deposition versus tooth wear: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Medicine, 2025. 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
Age is a crucial factor in identifying a person in forensic medicine. Dentition is one of the physiological indicators of chronological age. Radiographic dental age assessment is a simple, noninvasive and reproducible method. Age estimation is also done by evaluating tooth wear. To assess and compare morphological parameters of maxillary central incisors evaluated on radiographs using Kvaal's method with occlusal wear of posterior teeth using Kim's method in age estimation. A total of 50 individuals from 20 to 70 years of both genders were included. Radiographic analysis and occlusal tooth wear were calculated based on Kvaal's method and Kim's scoring criteria, respectively. The mean predicted age of the patient through radiographic analysis by Kvaal's method was 44.762. In contrast, the mean predicted age through occlusal tooth wear analysis of posterior teeth by Kim's scoring system was 44.842. Furthermore, the difference from the population mean age was 0.002 for radiographic analysis by Kvaal's method and 0.081 by occlusal tooth wear analysis by Kim's system. The result infers radiographic analysis by Kvaal's method was more accurate than occlusal tooth wear analysis by Kim's system in age estimation.
