1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study aimed to assess whether children with anterior molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) experience bullying related to dental appearance and to evaluate whether a minimally invasive resin infiltration treatment of MIH-affected anterior teeth could reduce self-reported bullying and improve Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL).

methodsTwenty-one children aged 8-14 years with MIH involving anterior teeth and self-reported bullying were enrolled in a single-arm clinical trial. Eligibility required affirmative responses to two items of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) specifically addressing bullying related to oral conditions, ensuring that all participants presented both anterior MIH and concomitant bullying experiences. Icon resin infiltrant (DMG, Germany) was applied to visible opacities. The CPQ was then administered at baseline and one month after treatment to assess changes in OHRQoL, whilst bullying experiences were reassessed at baseline and three months post-treatment. Data were analysed using Jamovi 2.3.28 with the McNemar test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Friedman test, and Durbin-Conover post hoc comparisons.

resultsAll participants reported bullying at baseline, whereas none did so at the three-month follow-up (p < 0.001). Significant improvements were observed in the emotional and social domains of OHRQoL 1 month after treatment (p < 0.001), and these benefits were sustained over time.

conclusionMinimally invasive resin infiltration of anterior MIH lesions effectively eliminated self-reported bullying and significantly improved OHRQoL, highlighting the clinical and psychosocial benefits of early aesthetic intervention in affected children.
