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

objectiveTo correlate McNamara's User's Guide for Cervical Vertebral Maturation, Fishman's Hand Wrist Maturation, Chronological Age, and Dental Age for the assessment of Skeletal Maturation in growing orthodontic patients of different ethnic groups. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 253 patients (127 males and 126 females) from different ethnic groups with lateral cephalograms, orthopantomograms, and hand-wrist radiographs were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed, including Pearson's correlation coefficient, ANOVA, and Tukey

resultsStrong correlations were observed between CA, Demirjian's DA, CVM, and HWM (

conclusionThis study demonstrated a significant correlation between CVM, HWM, CA, and DA in assessing skeletal maturation across different ethnic groups.
