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

Introduction: Molar-incisor-hypomineralization (MIH), a developmental defect that alters normal mineralization, causing permanent damage to the enamel. The affected enamel shows a reduction in mineral composition, calcium: phosphorus (Ca:P) ratio, and relatively increased carbon content. Among the numerous factors that affect the enamel integrity in MIH, the properties such as salivary and plaque pH might have an impact, but recent studies suggest only minimal data regarding the various factors, making it still obscure to the clinician. Aim: To determine the salivary and plaque pH in 8-15-year-old children with and without MIH and to correlate it with caries severity in children with MIH. Materials and methods: In this study, 209 children aged 8-15 years were selected by stratified sampling. Hypomineralized teeth and caries were assessed using the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria and International Caries Detection and Assessment System, version II (ICDAS II) criteria, respectively. Salivary and plaque samples were collected, and pH was determined. Results: Statistically significant difference in salivary pH was observed between the groups A1, A2, B, C, and A, B, C ( Conclusion: Statistically significant increase in caries severity and a fall in the mean salivary and plaque pH associated with posteruptive enamel breakdown (PEB) in the MIH-affected population was observed.
