Laser therapy in Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) teeth treatment of hypersensitivity: a systematic review.

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
This review investigated the effects of hypersensitivity treatment on molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) using laser therapy, combined or in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities. The review was conducted according to the PICOS strategy (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) and was performed in March 2024 using the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Embase. The RoB 2 tool was employed to evaluate the risk of bias. Seven articles were included, and none were classified as "high risk" for bias. The recommended wavelengths for laser application ranged from 808 to 810 nm, with an irradiation duration of at least 10 s per point. In two studies, the interval between application sessions varied from 48 to 72 h, with a dosage of 1 J. Three studies incorporated a control group that received some form of fluoride-based treatment. Overall, all studies demonstrated a degree of improvement in dentin hypersensitivity after the laser therapy treatment alone. The application of laser therapy for MIH, whether used in isolation or in combination with other desensitizing strategies, exhibited potential for the long-term reduction of hypersensitivity.
