Comparison of different cavity patterns and treatment methods in molars with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) - retrospective 9 months results.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to measure the 9-month clinical results of different cavity patterns and treatment methods for first permanent molars (FPM) with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH).
methodsFifty patients, aged 7–14 years, were included in this study. Eighty molars with MIH, meeting the study criteria, were restored using four different treatment approaches: Invasive treatment group, Invasive treatment + 5% NaOCl group, Non-invasive treatment group, and Non-invasive treatment + 5% NaOCl group. Restorations were measured at 1- 6- and 9-month intervals using the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.
resultsThe median age of the children was nine years. Upon clinical examination, the median ICDAS-II score was 6. For the primary dentition, the median dmft score was 3, and in the permanent dentition scores were 3, and, 4 respectively. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups regarding anatomical form, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, and retention during the follow-up periods. Moreover, in terms of the surface texture of the non-invasive treatment group, there was a statistically significant difference between at the 1st and 9th months.
conclusionsCharacterization of cavity patterns and selection of appropriate treatment modalities for molars affected by MIH are crucial in pediatric dentistry and should be thoroughly evaluated by pediatric dentists to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
