The association between temporomandibular disorders and joint hypermobility syndrome: a nationwide population-based study.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesThis study aims to investigate the risk factors of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), including disc or non-disc-related disorders, and joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) retrospectively and to analyze the factors by estimating the magnitude of the association between the two conditions using a nationwide population-based dataset. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 975,788 eligible patients' de-identified data were obtained from a representative database composed of one million of Taiwan's population since 2004 to 2008. All associated factors, such as gender, age, facial trauma, and psychosis, which correlated with TMDs and JHS were examined. Multiple logistic regression modeling adjusted for confounding variables to determine the odds ratio of variables that made an important contribution to TMDs and JHS.
resultsFor all TMDs patients, only 1.47% patients had disc-related disorders. For all JHS patients, only 3.85% patients are diagnosed with concomitant TMDs. Statistically significant association was observed between joint hypermobility and TMDs. Furthermore, the prevalence of JHS patients shows significant difference within TMD subgroups, in which 9.52% of JHS patients have disc disorders and 90.48% of JHS patients do not. All associated factors, such as gender, age, JHS, facial trauma, and psychosis, had a significant impact on the TMDs. Interestingly, patients with TMJ articular disc disorders are 6.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with JHS compared to patients without disc-related disorders.
conclusionsOur results confirm that there is a significant positive association between TMDs and JHS, highlighting that patients with disc-related TMDs are more likely to experience JHS than patients with TMDs without disc disorders. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Individuals with TMD associated with JHS should be carefully evaluated by inter-disciplinary specialists as these factors may eventually have impact on the prognosis of TMDs and JHS.
