Possible Etiological Factors for the Development of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) in Austrian Children.
Article in Dentistry journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundMolar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental enamel defect that primarily affects the first permanent molars and sometimes the incisors. Its increasing prevalence worldwide has raised clinical concerns, yet its exact cause remains unknown. This study aimed to assess potential factors influencing MIH development by analyzing the medical history of children aged 6 to 12 years using a questionnaire.
methodsThis study included 100 children aged 6-12 years diagnosed with MIH during dental examination, and 100 age-matched children in the non-MIH (healthy) group from the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University Clinic of Dentistry, Medical University of Vienna. The parents of the participants completed a two-page questionnaire regarding possible etiological factors of MIH.
resultsThe data analysis involved 100 children with MIH (mean age 8.5; ±1.3; 52% female) and 100 children in the healthy group (mean age 9.2; ±1.3; 42% female). The optimized binary logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between MIH development and cesarean-section delivery (OR = 3; CI = [1.5-6.2]) and sixth disease (roseola) (OR = 3.5; CI = [1.5-8.0]).
conclusionsThis study suggests that cesarean-section delivery and sixth disease (roseola) might increase the likelihood of MIH development in children.
