Effects of controlled condylar rotation exercise on symmetrical mouth opening in patients with temporomandibular disorder.

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
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 4-week program of active condylar rotation exercise on the extent of the lateral mandibular shift during mouth opening in patients with temporomandibular disorder. [Subjects and Methods] Patients with temporomandibular disorder (n = 12; 7 men and 5 women) were recruited. The active range of temporomandibular motion was recorded using 3-dimensional ultrasound-based motion analysis. The paired t-test was used to assess changes in lateral mandibular shift before and after active condylar rotation exercise. [Results] The degree of the lateral mandibular shift during mouth opening and the mouth opening-lateral mandibular shift ratio were significantly lower after active condylar rotation exercise than before the exercise. [Conclusion] Active condylar rotation exercise may effectively reduce the degree of the lateral mandibular shift during mouth opening to produce symmetrical mouth opening in patients with mild temporomandibular disorder.
