Lived Experiences of Tooth Hypersensitivity in Children With Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation.
Article in International journal of paediatric dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundChildren with molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) can suffer from intense tooth hypersensitivity (TH), which may adversely affect various aspects of their emotional, social, and functional wellbeing. As TH diagnostic tools are primarily adapted from adult research, there is a clear need for a deeper understanding of MIH-TH from a child-centred perspective.
aimTo explore how children with MIH perceive and experience TH within the context of their daily lives.
designFollowing ethical approval, audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews were conducted with children with MIH, aged between 6- and 16-years-old, followed by iterative thematic analysis.
resultsSeventeen children were included (10 girls and 7 boys) with a mean age of 9 years and 7 months. All children had severe MIH, with between 1 and 10 affected teeth. Five main themes emerged: description of TH, triggers for TH, impact of TH, responses to TH, and experience within the dental context and setting. Children used rich language to convey their experiences of TH and its various impacts.
conclusionChildren with MIH described their experiences of TH, highlighting its considerable impact on their daily lives. Data from this study will inform the development of a TH-specific measurement tool for this patient group.
