Distribution and morphology of enamel hypomineralisation defects in second primary molars.
Article in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate defect distribution and morphology in hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM), presence of similar defects in other primary teeth and clinical similarities with molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH).
methodsThis clinical descriptive study involved children who attended a postgraduate paediatric dental clinic in a 20-month period and were diagnosed with HSPM. The updated MIH/HSPM index of Ghanim et al. (Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 16(3):235-46, 2015) was used to record defects on primary molars and canines.
results54 children (23 boys) aged 4 to 12 years comprised the study sample. The mean number of affected second primary molars per child was 2.65 with no statistically significant difference between maxilla and mandible or between right and left side with defects more frequently located on buccal surfaces. 66.7% of the children were mildly affected (opacities only) with 29 out of 54 having defects occupying less than 1/3 of the surface. Severity increased with increasing number of affected teeth and extent of the defects per child. Similar defects were recorded in the first primary molars and canines in 55.5% of the children who had those teeth present.
conclusionThe distribution and morphology pattern of HSPM defects was similar to that in MIH, supporting the notion of a common hypomineralisation entity.
