Comparison of aesthetic treatments for molar-incisor hypomineralisation: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in The Saudi dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a developmental defect that predominantly targets the first permanent molars and incisors and consists of hypomineralisation of the enamel. A range of treatment options are available to improve aesthetics in this condition, including resin infiltration, bleaching techniques, restorations, microabrasion, and laser therapy. Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyse the effects of treatments on changes in enamel colour in teeth with MIH lesions and determine whether resin infiltration is the most aesthetic treatment. Material and Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Scopus databases until December 2022. The addressed PICO question was: "Is resin Infiltration the most effective treatment for restoring aesthetics in comparison to other treatments in patients with Molar incisor hypomineralisation?''. In addition, a meta-analysis was conducted with the selected studies to integrate the information using R.51 software (R Core Team (2013)). Results: In total, 678 articles were obtained from the initial search, of which 11 met the inclusion criteria. Seven studies concluded that resin infiltration was the most successful treatment method in the aesthetic rehabilitation of MIH lesions. Six of the eleven articles were included in the meta-analysis, which indicated that the treatments generated substantial colour changes. Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis provided significant data suggesting that resin infiltration is the most effective treatment for achieving aesthetic improvements in MIH lesions, with the meta-analysis providing a significant result (p = 0.051) in favour of the hypothesis.
