Evaluation of Fractal and Radiomorphometric Measurements of Mandibular Bone Structure in Pediatric Patients With Molar Incisor Hypomineralization.
Article in International journal of paediatric dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundMolar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is associated with enamel's existing qualitative developmental defects.
aimThis study aimed to assess the cortical and trabecular mandibular bone morphology in pediatric patients with MIH using fractal analysis (FA) and digital panoramic radiography (DPR) with various radiomorphometric indices.
designA total of 75 patients, including 39 in the MIH group (MIHG) and 36 in the control group (CG), underwent clinical and radiographic examination. Three regions of interest (ROIs) were analyzed: ROI1 (mandibular ramus), ROI2 (mandibular angle), and ROI3 (mandibular anterior). Radiomorphometric measurements included mandibular cortical width (MCW), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), and mandibular cortical index (MCI). Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.
resultsThe study revealed that the right and left MCW and PMI measurements in the CG were significantly higher compared with the MIHG (p = 0.002, p < 0.001; p = 0.022; p = 0.003). However, fractal dimension (FD) analysis of the trabecular bone structure showed no significant differences between the groups across all ROIs (p > 0.05).
conclusionsMIH may be associated with bone development due to shared developmental factors, and the assessment of MCW and PMI in DPRs can contribute to a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment approach based on the growth and developmental dynamics of pediatric patients.
