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

This review focuses on the coexistence of tinnitus and temporomandibular disorders in terms of epidemiological data, etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and interaction between the two disorders. PubMed, Google Scholar, and ClinicalKey digital databases were used to search for publications covering the years 2009-2024. Finally, 77 publications were used. The review followed recommendations of the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles. The prevalence of tinnitus in individuals with TMD amounted to 2-59% and was reported as the main concomitant symptom. Several studies reported that tinnitus was eight times more common in TMD sufferers. Among patients with tinnitus, TMJ disorders were observed at a frequency of 19%, while in the group presenting with a high severity of the condition, TMJ disorders were observed more frequently (36%). Based on this review, in order to facilitate the diagnosis and future treatment of tinnitus and TMD patients, a proposal for a multidisciplinary diagnostic algorithm is presented in the article. The cooperation of an otolaryngologist, audiologist, neurologist, psychiatrist, dentist, and physiotherapist may be considered in clinical settings.
