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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of resin infiltration in managing anterior molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) defects, focusing on color improvement, lesion size reduction, sensitivity outcomes and patient aesthetic perception. Enamel defects in MIH result from a combination of environmental, systemic, and genetic factors, indicating a multifactorial etiology. These defects, particularly in anterior teeth, pose significant aesthetic and emotional challenges due to their high visibility. This study provides one of the few prospective clinical evaluations of resin infiltration for anterior MIH lesions, assessing not only objective clinical outcomes but also patients' aesthetic perception. It further introduces a patient-centered approach by comparing aesthetic evaluations made by children and dental professionals over time.
methodsA total of 109 MIH-affected anterior teeth were treated using Icon
resultsBefore treatment, spectrophotometric analysis showed that lesions exhibited a reddish hue (mean a* = 2.12), were distinctly yellowish (mean b* = 23.20), and clearly differed from surrounding enamel (ΔE = 8.62). The brightness level (L* = 69.81) indicated medium-high luminosity. Lesion size was reduced by an average of 4.5 percentage points. Significant increases in L values and reductions in a* and b* components were observed, with clinically perceptible ΔE changes. Sensitivity improved in 36.6% of patients, who reported a 1-2 point decrease on the SCASS. Moreover, patients' aesthetic perception significantly improved after Icon
conclusionsResin infiltration produced noticeable improvements in color, reduced lesion size and sensitivity, and enhanced aesthetic perception, making it a valuable treatment option for managing MIH-affected anterior teeth in children.
