Use of asthma drugs and prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization.

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
backgroundAsthma and molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) are common diseases among children and have been suspected to be associated with each other.
aimTo examine the association between asthma or the use of asthma drugs and the prevalence of MIH.
designIn a population-based cross-sectional study, we recorded MIH in 9-year-old children in Aalborg Municipality, Denmark, born in the year 2000. We used a unique 10-digit civil personal number to link data on MIH to population-based medical register data. The exposure was inhaled asthma medication from birth date until date of dental examination. The outcome was the overall prevalence of MIH according to use of asthma medication. Odds ratios (OR) of having MIH were adjusted for gender, use of antibiotics and amoxicillin, maternal smoking, pre- and perinatal complication, and hospital admissions.
resultsWe examined 1837 children, of which 542 (29.5%) had one or more molar(s) with MIH. The adjusted odds ratio of having MIH was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.60-1.51) among children with prescriptions of inhaled asthma medication.
conclusionIn this study, where the results have been adjusted for confounding, we found no association between use of inhaled asthma medication and the prevalence of MIH.
