Dentists' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH): A French Survey.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionWith an estimated 878 million cases worldwide in 2015, molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a growing issue. Early detection and management require knowledge and application of good clinical practices. The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of French dentists regarding MIH.
methodA self-administered questionnaire was distributed to different groups of practitioners between 30 January and 27 March 2023, including members of the French dental practice-based research network, members of the social network "French pediatric dentists," and members of the professional social network LinkedIn (LinkedIn, Sunnyvale, California, United States). The data from 311 questionnaires were analyzed.
resultsAround 277 (89%) practitioners were familiar with MIH, 180 (58%) were perfectly aware of the clinical features of MIH, and 193 (62%) reported being able to clinically identify MIH. Nearly 100% (310) of dentists cited "environmental pollutants" as the most frequent etiological factor. Glass ionomer is the most used restorative material.
conclusionEducation regarding MIH must be improved among dentists to correctly detect, treat, or refer patients. It would seem useful to carry out an MIH prevalence study in France.
