Influence of molar incisor hypomineralization on oral health-related quality of life in 8-10-year-old children: a cross-sectional study.

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
aimThis study used the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10) to compare the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of children with and without molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and to evaluate the effect of MIH severity on OHRQoL in children 8-10 years of age. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe sample consisted of 272 children (132 males, 48.5% and 140 females, 51.5%) 8-10-year-old, treated in a postgraduate paediatric dental clinic and undergraduate clinics at the Dental College, Ajman University, Ajman, United Arab Emirates. Participants were evaluated for their dental caries and plaque status as well as the presence and severity of MIH. A CPQ8-10 was given to the children to complete by a single interviewer. SPSS v30 was used to do statistical analysis at a level of α ≤ 0.05. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the two groups and regression analysis to model the relationship between variables.
resultsThe mean (SD) age of the sample was 9.0 (SD = 0.87). Of the 272 children, 159 had MIH and 113 were in the comparison group. The CPQ8-10 mean overall score and the scores of all domains in MIH-affected children were significantly higher than in children in the comparison group 42.5 (SD = 24.34) vs. 12.0 (SD = 10.96); p < .001, showing that MIH could have a negative impact on OHRQoL. Similar trends were seen in all four subdomains. Regarding severity, CPQ8-10 mean scores increased from mild to severe forms of MIH, while males showed higher CPQ8-10 scores than females.
conclusionCompared to children without MIH, children with MIH exhibit a lower OHRQoL; the impairment increases with severity in all four domains of oral health, functional limitations, emotional and social well-being.
