Periodontal anaesthesia reduces common 8 Hz input to masseters during isometric biting.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
During isometric contractions of the jaw muscles, oscillations in the rectified masseteric EMG record that are coherent with the mandibular force output are evident at ~8 Hz. We have investigated the load dependence of these oscillations under both force and EMG feedback conditions and the extent to which these oscillations are coupled bilaterally in the jaw muscles. We further investigated the extent to which afferent information arising from the periodontium during biting influenced the extent of ~8 Hz EMG tremor and the bilateral coupling between masseters at this frequency. Using coherence analysis we have shown that a significant load-independent coupling of EMG between the closing muscles of the jaw occurs at ~8 Hz as a result of common ~8 Hz input to the masseters. This common input is significantly reduced when afferent information from the periodontium is blocked. These results suggest that afferent information arising from the periodontium enhances the expression of peripheral tremulous activity, which may be important for optimising the response of the jaw to changes in forces occurring between the teeth.
