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

Background: The ability to predict the difference between chronological age (CA) and dental age (DA) is an important aid in the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning process in the pediatric population. Aim: To establish a dental reference data set (DRDS) of Emirati children aged between 5 and 15 years. Materials and methods: Dental panoramic tomography (DPT) of 139 Emirati children aged 5-15 years was obtained from a retrospective case-note cross-sectional study and used to establish a DRDS. The Demirjian tooth development stages system was used to assess all the permanent teeth on the left side of the mandible. Results: The estimated ages of both sexes tended to be higher than their chronological age, meaning that they matured early. The mean maturation score of the Emirati population was not statistically significantly different from that of the French-Canadian children. Emirati children's DA was higher compared to the Canadian standards. The mean difference between chronological age and dental age (DA-CA) was 1.21 and 0.79 years in girls and boys, respectively ( Conclusion: The results demonstrated that the Demirjian method was suitable for estimating the dental age in a group of Emirati children.
