Association of Enamel Tooth Color of Central Incisors, Lateral Incisors, and Canines With Age and Gender to Aid in Forensic Identification: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Aims and objectives Forensic dentistry plays a crucial role in human identification, and tooth enamel color can serve as a valuable tool in forensic investigations. This cross-sectional study assesses the enamel shade of maxillary central and lateral incisors and canines among different age groups and genders, as well as dietary preferences, to establish patterns that can assist forensic identification. Materials and methods A total of 370 participants were recruited through random sampling at Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and Hospital, Sangli. The VITA classical shade guide (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany) was used to assess the enamel color under natural daylight conditions. Results Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in enamel shades between males and females but no significant differences based on diet. Conclusions The findings highlight the relevance of enamel shade analysis in forensic identification and emphasize the need for further research to strengthen its applicability in forensic sciences.
