Investigating the Causes of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization: A Cross-Sectional Study on Maternal and Child Health Factors.

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
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), with a focus on maternal health during pregnancy, delivery complications, and postnatal health and nutritional factors in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving detailed surveys completed by mothers regarding their health during pregnancy, delivery experiences, and their children's early health and nutritional history. Clinical examinations of the children were performed to diagnose MIH according to established criteria. Statistical analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS 29.0, including descriptive statistics and correlation analyses to identify associations between MIH and various maternal and child health factors. Results: The study found that 36.7% of mothers experienced illnesses during pregnancy, with gestational diabetes and hypertension being the most common conditions. Complications during delivery were observed in 3.3% of cases, and 16.7% of mothers had premature births. Common health issues in children included respiratory infections (26.7%), fever (23.3%), and otitis media (16.7%). Notably, dental defects were most prevalent in children with kidney disorders (66.7%), digestive system disorders (45.8%), and severe diarrhea (43.8%). Significant correlations were identified between MIH and these maternal and child health factors, highlighting the importance of comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care. Conclusion: The study underscores the multifactorial nature of MIH, revealing significant associations with maternal illnesses, delivery complications, and early childhood health issues. These findings emphasize the need for targeted preventive measures and early interventions to manage MIH effectively, particularly in children at higher risk due to compromised maternal or child health.
