1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Estimation of skeletal maturation using radiographs is often used in clinical orthodontics as it is one the crucial factors in achieving a successful treatment outcome. In Orthodontics, we commonly use hand wrist radiographs, lateral cephalograms and sometimes orthopantomogram (OPG) as an objective diagnostic evaluation into the skeletal maturity of an individual. However, the techniques employed are subjective and account for inter-operator errors. With the advent of technology objective methods have been developed and documented in literature but have not gained much importance yet. This article aims at discussing the recent objective methods of bone age assessment in orthodontics.
