Knowledge and Attitudes of Dental Professionals and Students on MIH: A Scoping Review.
Article in Acta stomatologica Croatica, 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
Objective: This scoping review aimed to map the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of dental professionals and students regarding MIH. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the electronic databases MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase up to May 2023. A search in the OpenGrey database for grey literature was also performed. The reference lists of potentially eligible studies were checked to ensure that all relevant studies were analyzed. Scientific papers were considered eligible if they met the specified inclusion criteria: (1) focused on MIH; (2) assessed the knowledge/perception/attitudes of oral health professionals. Scientific papers were deemed ineligible if they met any of the following exclusion criteria: (1) lacking data on the knowledge/perception/attitudes regarding MIH among dental health professionals and students; (2) being a literature review/expert opinion/systematic review/case report. Results: 207 potentially eligible studies were identified, and 35 studies were included. A clear distinction emerged between qualified dental professionals and students regarding knowledge, attitudes, and management of MIH. Globally, variability was evident: Australia/New Zealand demonstrated strong protocols, China/Chile reported substantial gaps, and the UK showed mixed performance. Treatment preferences differed, with Saudi Arabia favoring stainless steel crowns/composite resin and Malaysia using glass ionomer cement/composite resin. Conclusion: Knowledge, attitudes, and management of MIH differ significantly across professional levels and countries. Specialists and general dentists show greater confidence in diagnosing and treating MIH than students, though variations exist within both groups. The systematic review protocol was registered in OSF platform (doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/NHMV2).
