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

backgroundLongitudinal changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) structures may reflect joint contact mechanics and jaw loading behaviours (Mechanobehaviour Score, MBS).

objectiveTest if baseline MBS correlates with longitudinal changes in TMJ structures.

methodsAccording to Institutional Review Board oversight, diagnoses of adult subjects at baseline and follow-up were determined by Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) via clinical examination, cone-beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. At baseline, subjects recorded in-field jaw muscle electromyography to calculate diurnal and nocturnal muscle duty factors (DF, %) and TMJ energy densities (ED, mJ/mm

resultsForty-three subjects (29 female, 14 males) participated. The average time between baseline and follow-up was 8.0 ± 2.5 years. Analyses of 85 TMJs (43 right, 42 left) showed significantly smaller MBS (all p < 0.002) for Group B (n = 18; 71 ± 6 (mJ/mm

conclusionMechanobehaviour variables accurately predicted changes in TMJ integrity.
