Effect of ibuprofen premedication on intraoperative pain during vital pulp therapy in MIH-affected permanent molars: a triple-blind randomized clinical trial.
Trial report 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
backgroundAchieving adequate pain control during vital pulp therapy in children with molar-incisor hypo-mineralization (MIH) is challenging because of hypersensitivity and the difficulty of obtaining profound local anesthesia. This study evaluated the effect of ibuprofen premedication on intraoperative pain during vital pulp therapy in MIH-affected mandibular first permanent molars in children.
methodsThis triple-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 32 children aged 6-9 years with MIH requiring vital pulp therapy. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either ibuprofen suspension (10 mg/kg) or placebo 45 min before treatment. Pain intensity was assessed using the Five-Face Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at pulp entry and the Sound-Eye-Motor (SEM) scale during the procedure. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with a significance level of 0.05.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 7.99 ± 0.59 years in the ibuprofen group and 8.01 ± 0.46 years in the placebo group. Intraoperative pain scores were significantly lower in the ibuprofen group compared with the placebo group according to both VAS (p = 0.004) and SEM scores (p = 0.001).
conclusionsPremedication with ibuprofen significantly reduced intraoperative pain during vital pulp therapy in MIH-affected mandibular first permanent molars in children aged 6-9 years.
