Synthesis in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06922552 (Clinical Performance of Giomer Preceded by Etching Versus Resin-Based Sealants Applied on Permanent Molars Affected by Molar-Incisor Hypo-mineralization), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

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.

Abstract

purposeThe present systematic review aims to summarize the current evidence regarding various treatment modalities and their results when dealing with hypersensitivity in teeth with Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH).

methodsSystematic searches were conducted in PubMed and Scopus using the search terms "MIH AND Hypersensitivity AND treatment." Studies involving children aged 6-18 years diagnosed with MIH and exhibiting hypersensitivity were considered for inclusion. The outcomes examined included clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial treatment options for reducing hypersensitivity. A meta-analysis was performed for six of the included articles, and the I

resultsA total of eight articles met the inclusion criteria for this review, with six eligible for the meta-analysis. Various treatment modalities, such as dental mousse, sealing, laser therapy, and crown therapy, demonstrated significant reductions in hypersensitivity individually (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe treatment methods that offer the most effective reduction in hypersensitivity are sealing with resin composite or glass ionomer cement for mild cases of MIH, while crown therapy is more effective for severe cases of MIH. However, the small number of participants and short follow-up times limit the strength of these conclusions.
