Structural and chemical enamel characteristics of hypomineralised 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 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeAlthough hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM) are considered belonging in the same entity as molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), the structure and chemistry of their defected enamel have not been described. We aimed to study these in justifying any similarities with MIH.
methodsNine HSPM and five first permanent molars with MIH were either fractured or sectioned longitudinally through their defective enamel and examined by scanning electron microscopy. Relative amounts of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), carbon (C) and the Ca:P ratio were calculated in the primary molar samples by energy -dispersive spectrometry.
resultsRod width was deficient in the defected enamel of HSPM resulting in wide interrod spaces and suggesting similarities to permanent enamel structure in MIH. In areas with breakdown, cracks and disrupted coherence between enamel rods were more marked. Differences in Ca, P, O, C and Ca:P ratio between hypomineralised and sound enamel in HSPM followed the same trend as in MIH without reaching statistical significance.
conclusionMarked structural differences between sound and hypomineralised enamel of HSPM and similarity to MIH enamel were verified.
