Prevalence and predictors of molar-incisor hypomineralization among Egyptian children: a cross-sectional study.
Article in European oral research, 2024. 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.

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.

Abstract
Purpose: The primary aim of this study was twofold: first, to assess the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) within a cohort of Egyptian children and, second, to investigate the potential correlation between MIH and various factors, including age, sex, birth complications, and endogamous marriage. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional investigation took place in Egypt's Delta region, with approximately 3000 children aged between eight and twelve years being recruited for participation. The European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD; 2003) criteria served as the diagnostic tool for identifying MIH cases. Upon detection of clinical signs or symptoms indicative of MIH, parents were queried regarding any potential birth complications or endogamous marriages. Lesion severity levels were diagnosed using Mathu-Muju and Wright criteria. Results: The prevalence rate for MIH was found to be 7.2%. Molars exhibited higher susceptibility rates than incisors (64.8% vs 35.2%), with approximately 37% of participants displaying severe scores, followed by mild (33.8%) and moderate (29.2%). Male subjects had significantly more occurrences than females, with positive correlations identified between MIH incidence rates alongside each gender category as well as both birth complications and endogamous marriages. Conclusion: Children born from complicated pregnancies or whose parents are related should receive frequent check-ups from pediatric dentists during their first permanent molar eruption period. so that early detection of MIH can be facilitated allowing timely intervention.
