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

Type 1 diabetes may affect skeletal and dental development, but its influence on dental age estimation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the estimated dental age of children with type 1 diabetes by using Cameriere, Willems and Demirjian methods. Panoramic radiographs of 58 children (29 with type 1 diabetes and 29 healthy controls) aged 4-15 years were retrospectively evaluated. Dental ages were estimated using the Cameriere, Willems, and Demirjian methods and compared with chronological age by group and gender. Statistical software SPSS version 23 (SPSS Inc., Armonk, NY) was used for all analyses. No statistically significant difference in estimated dental age was found between the diabetes and control groups using all three methods (p > 0.05). Willems method is better than the Cameriere and Demirjian methods in estimating dental age in all subgroups (control, diabetes and gender) (p < 0,001). Among all subgroups, the Willems method showed the highest accuracy, while the Cameriere method slightly underestimated and the Demirjian method overestimated chronological age. Dental age in children with well-controlled type 1 diabetes appears comparable to healthy peers. Willems method gives more reliable results than Cameriere and Demirjian methods in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. It is important to use different dental age determination methods together to obtain more reliable results.
