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

purposeA new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based scoring system for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement was developed to predict disease severity and the likelihood of invasive treatment. PATIENTS AND

methodsReports and images from bilateral TMJ MRI studies of 100 consecutive patients with TMJ pain were retrospectively reviewed. A Temporomandibular Joint Internal Derangement Score (TIDS) score was composed of 6 MRI characteristics: joint effusion, disc displacement, disc nonrecapture, disc degenerative changes, abnormal condyle translation, and condyle arthritis. The primary endpoint was whether disease severity merited invasive treatment (arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, arthroplasty, or discectomy). Primary analyses were conducted as univariate regression, with the level of significance set at

resultsInvasive treatment was performed in 29 patients and planned in an additional 9 patients. Patients with clinical bilateral pathology were no more likely to undergo invasive treatment than those with unilateral clinical pathology. Statistically significant correlations were found between bilateral invasive treatment and the presence of bilateral joint effusions (p = 0.0037) and disc displacement (p = 0.014), as well as with increasing values of right TIDS (p = 0.0015) and bilateral TIDS (p = 0.0090). Bilateral TIDS of greater than 6 was correlated with both bilateral invasive treatment (p = 0.0033) and with invasive treatment of any kind (p = 0.041). In each instance of TIDS > 6, the patient demonstrated multiple signs of bilateral TMJ pathology. On multivariate regression, only disc recapture failed to trend towards statistical significance in both the six and twelve component regressions, which trended towards significance only in the twelve component analysis.

conclusionA TIDS score was developed to serve as an adjunct to the clinical assessment of TMJ pathology. Bilateral TIDS score greater than 6 was statistically significantly correlated with the severity of TMJ pathology.
