Risk for molar incisor hypomineralization in children with hypomineralizations in the deciduous dentition: a case-control study on children from a Swiss suburban region.

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
objectivesA possible co-occurence of hypomineralizations in deciduous teeth (HD) and Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is matter of ongoing discussion. This case control study aimed to assess whether there was a correlation between HD and MIH in a suburban Swiss population.
methodsPatients were seen once at the age of 4-6 and a second time at 8-9 years, each, for comprehensive dental examination, including the diagnosis of HD and MIH. Appointments took place as part of routinely annual examinations in a school dental clinic of the municipality of Uster. In a retrospective approach, children with hypomineralizations in the deciduous dentition at the first appointment were defined as "cases". An identical number of age- and gender-matched "controls" without hypomineralizations were randomly chosen from the patient files. The odds ratio for MIH - as reported during the second appointment - for cases with HD compared to controls without was calculated using chi-square, quota ratio and Fisher's exact test with a level of significance of 0.05%.
resultsIn the cohort of 426 children (112 females and 101 males in each group) the overall prevalence of MIH was 11.7%, with mainly mild signs of MIH. Case patients showed 1.24 ± 0.70 teeth with HD. For the test group, the odds ratio for MIH was 1.44 as compared to the controls, failing to show statistical significance.
conclusionThere might be a slightly enhanced probability for MIH if the deciduous dentition display hypomineralizations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Given hypomineralizations in the deciduous dentition, the probability for Molar Incisor Hypomineralizations might be slightly enhanced.
