[Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH)-discussion of prevalence and etiology with special reference to the results from the Munich birth cohorts GINIplus and LISA].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
After caries, molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH)-also known as chalky teeth-is one the most common dental diseases in children and adolescents. In addition to aesthetic limitations, especially on the anterior teeth, hypersensitivities and enamel breakdowns on permanent molars are of functional importance. While the MIH prevalence rates range from ~ 10% to ~ 30% and is well described, the situation regarding aetiology is unsatisfactory. Although efforts have been made in the past to clarify the aetiology, no plausible reason is available so far. Aetiology research has to be judged as methodologically challenging, since it should ideally be embedded in prospectively planned birth cohort studies. The aim of this article is to summarize typical clinical characteristics of MIH, epidemiological findings and potential causes with special reference to the earlier published results from the two Munich birth cohort studies GINIplus and LISA.
