Prenatal and birth-related risk factors for hypomineralised second primary molars: a prospective cohort 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
purposeHypomineralised second primary molar (HSPM) is a developmental enamel defect whose aetiology remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to identify prenatal and birth-related risk factors associated with HSPM in children from a prospective cohort.
methodsThis study was nested within the Araraquara Cohort. Of the 1,089 children considered potentially eligible for the dental assessment, 303 underwent clinical examination (27.8%). These children were followed from pregnancy through the eruption of the second primary molars. HSPM was diagnosed by a calibrated examiner using the MIH/HSPM Index. Prenatal and birth-related data were obtained from the cohort database. Associations between exposures and HSPM were analysed using generalised linear models to estimate crude and adjusted risk ratios (RR).
resultsThe median age of the children was 3.6 years (IQR: 3.1-4.2), and 53.5% were male. The incidence of HSPM was 9.6%. The most frequent findings were white-creamy demarcated opacities and lesions affecting less than one-third of the tooth surface. In the adjusted multivariable analysis, HSPM was associated with alcohol consumption during the third trimester of pregnancy (RR = 2.56; 95% CI = 1.05-6.27), maternal illness during the first trimester of pregnancy (RR = 2.01; 95% CI = 1.02-3.99), and higher household income in the study sample (RR = 1.07; 95% CI = 1.01-1.13).
conclusionThese findings highlight pregnancy, particularly in the first and third trimesters, as critical periods for the development of HSPM, reinforcing the relevance of prenatal care and early identification of children at risk of developing this defect.
