Evaluating Biomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Masticatory Muscles in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Patient-Centric Approach Using MyotonPRO Measurements.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is essential for chewing and speaking functions, as well as for making facial expressions. However, this joint can be affected by disorders, known as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), induced by complex causes that lead to limitations in daily activities. Building on the methodology and findings from our previous study on TMJ function, our research aims to apply the established criteria and norms to patients with TMDs. The primary goal is to evaluate the applicability and clinical relevance of these reference norms in predicting the severity and progression of TMJ disorders within a clinical population. Using non-invasive myotonic measurements, we evaluated 157 subjects, including both non-TMD-affected and TMD-affected individuals. To achieve optimal results, five primary parameters (frequency, stiffness, decrement, relaxation time, and creep) were analyzed using statistical-physical tools, providing quantitative
