The association of caries prevalence and experience in relation with molar incisor hypomineralisation and its associated factors in Mexican schoolchildren: 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
backgroundMolar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a prevalent developmental enamel defect and has been associated with increased caries experience.
aimTo determine caries experience and prevalence, and their relationship with the presence of MIH in schoolchildren from Pachuca, Mexico.
methodsA cross-sectional study including 714 randomly selected participants aged 6 to 13 years. Clinical examination was undertaken and carious lesions and MIH were classified according to ICDAS II and EAPD MIH-criteria, respectively. Questionnaires collected sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and health information.
resultsMean age was 8.8 ± 1.8 years; mean caries experience for cavitated lesions (ICDAS 5-6) was 2.1 ± 2.5 in primary dentition and 0.2 ± 0.7 in permanent dentition, resulting in a combined mean (dmft + DMFT) of 2.2 ± 2.6. Caries prevalence (ICDAS ≥ 2) was 78% in primary and 46.7% in permanent teeth. Eighty-eight children (12.3%) had MIH, of whom 54 (61.4%) had cavitated lesions (ICDAS 5-6) in permanent teeth, higher than in children without MIH (7%) (p = 0.0001). Mean caries experience (ICDAS 5-6) was significantly greater in the MIH group (1.25 ± 1.34) compared to the non-MIH group (0.10 ± 0.45; p = 0.0001). Variables statistically significantly associated with caries prevalence and experience included the child's age, oral hygiene, MIH presence and soy extract ingestion; and parental perception of the child's general appearance.
conclusionsSeveral variables, including MIH, child age, oral hygiene and soy extract ingestion, and parental perception of their child's general appearance, were associated with higher caries prevalence and experience.
